The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, on Tuesday confirmed that President Buhari has ordered the sale of two presidential aircraft, a Falcon 7x executive jet and Hawker 4000. The sale of the 2 aircraft were advertised in newspaper advertisements. Confirming this, Garba Shehu in a statement made available to journalists said: “When he campaigned to be President, the then APC candidate Muhammadu Buhari, if you recall, promised to look at the Presidential Air Fleet with a view to cutting down on waste. His directive to a government committee on this assignment is that he liked to see a compact and reliable aircraft for the safe airlift of the President, the Vice President and other government officials that go on special missions. This exercise is by no means complete. I am sure the Commander of the Presidential Air Fleet will any time from now, call you to a ceremony at which he will hand over some other aircraft to the Airforce for their operations.”
