A financial analyst and educator, Kalu Aja, has sparked a debate about Nigeria’s economic situation.
Taking to X on Monday, Aja pointed out that President Bola Tinubu acquired a new private jet within a year, despite the country’s reported economic challenges.
Aja questioned how the President could afford such a luxury item if the economy is truly struggling.
He noted that the President’s ability to purchase a new jet suggests that the economy might not be as bad as widely claimed.
Aja’s comments have ignited a conversation about the state of Nigeria’s economy and the perceived disconnect between the government’s actions and the reported economic woes.
While some argue that the President’s actions demonstrate the economy’s resilience, others see it as a sign of misplaced priorities.
Aja said: “It took your president just one year to buy a new private jet, in this same economy, you are complaining of inflation and bandits.
“Your president does not have two heads.
“If the Nigerian economy is as bad as you claim, how is the President able to afford a new jet?”
