'Fly Air Peace' - Dele Momodu advises Tinubu as he flies a private jet to South Africa

Dele Momodu, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to use the services of Air Peace as the conversation about a new presidential aircraft continues.

The PDP chieftain commented on a response by the presidency to Peter Obi, who criticized the decision to purchase new aircraft as insensitive to the struggles of Nigerians.

Obi described the government's plan to buy new presidential jets as "insensitive to citizens' struggles," emphasizing that the welfare of the citizens should be the government's priority.

The former Governor of Anambra State added, "With increasing insecurity, poverty, hunger, and homelessness, this decision highlights the disconnect between the government and the people. It is unacceptable and requires a more compassionate use of resources, prioritizing citizens' welfare."

Momodu, in a post on his Instagram page, urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to demonstrate the sacrifices he preaches by flying commercial on international trips.

"In these hard times, there's no compulsory reason for a country to own Presidential jets. It is an overindulgence. ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU owned private jets ever before he was declared President."

"He can demonstrate the SACRIFICE he preaches by downsizing and returning to them and requesting his retinue to go commercial when absolutely necessary. AIR PEACE has a fleet of Boeing 777 that can be hired for long-haul flights and this will keep them in business. Trouble is our politicians are outlandishly flamboyant... There's nothing wrong with what PETER OBI said and suggested."
