News summary

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent Nollywood actor and former Labour Party spokesperson, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu over the recent acquisition of a new Airbus A330 presidential jet amid Nigeria's ongoing economic crisis. He condemned the purchase as 'the height of insensitivity,' pointing to widespread hunger, rising fuel prices, and financial instability affecting ordinary citizens. The new jet, which replaces a 19-year-old Boeing, was announced as a cost-saving measure by the government, although the purchase price remains undisclosed. Okonkwo emphasized that his loyalty lies with the Nigerian people rather than any political party, highlighting the misalignment of government spending priorities in the face of national suffering. His comments reflect a growing discontent among citizens regarding government expenditures during challenging times. This incident has sparked further debate about the appropriateness of such luxury purchases by public officials.
