Presidential Jet And Controversies
During the administration of Mohammadu Buhari, the Presidential Jet has been subject of controversies.
In early January, Hanan Buhari, the daughter of President Buhari, stirred up a controversy. This was after she attended an event to photograph a Durbar by Rilwanu Adamu, Emir of Bauchi, in one of the jets in the presidential fleet.
The move was condemned by Nigerians even though the Presidency defended the action. According to them, it was a normal procedure. Personal Assistant
Just a week ago, the executive governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, arrived Benin City, the Edo State capital.
He was in Edo State to offer support to the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
