President Bola Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Peter Obi wants Tinubu to die in an air crash like Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Malawi Vice President Soulus Chelime who died in separate aircrashes.
Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election had opposed plans by the Tinubu administration to buy new presidential jets for the President and the Vice President in face hard economic realities facing the country.
The move followed recommendations by the House of Assembly security and intelligence committee report on the status of the aircraft in the presidential fleet.
“Does Peter Obi want the President dead? Is that his wish? Does he want him to continue moving around in a rickety plane and die like the VP of Malawi and Iran President? Let him tell us,” Mr. Onanuga wondered.
“The plane Tinubu is using now, I learnt, was bought during (former President) Obasanjo’s era. That was over 20 years ago and I learnt it was a very small plane.
“The plane developed a problem the last time he travelled to Saudi Arabia. The President had to go from there to the UK on a commercial airline. Even those managing them said the aircraft needed to be replaced,” he said.
