Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has charged President Bola Tinubu to stop government officials from using taxpayers’ money to hire private jets to visit him during the Eid-el-Fitr festival.
Sani said this while sending a festive message to Tinubu via his official X page.
Sani wrote: “I wish the President a Happy Eid al Fitr in advance; And please Your Excellency, tell Elected and Appointed Public Officials not to spend public funds hiring private jets just to come and “greet you” for Sallah.”
It would be recalled that the Presidency had issued a statement, saying that Tinubu would celebrate his Eid-el-Fitr celebration in Lagos.
The President’s trip was made public by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a press release.
“President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja, the Nation’s Capital, for Lagos on Sunday ahead of the Islamic festival.
“In deference to the solemn occasion, which marks the end of Ramadan, the President will observe the moment in prayers for Nigeria and with family.
“The President will continue official duties during and after the Eid-el-Fitr holidays,” the statement reads.
