Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has criticized Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's acquisition of a new presidential jet.
On August 19, 2024, the actor took to Instagram and shared a photo of the President and some private jets on the next slide, criticizing the president for getting new jets while the country is facing hunger and misery.
He wrote, "People are dying of hunger. No food, no fuel, no finance, no electricity, and
President Tinubu is buying a presidential jet. This is the height of insensitivity."
Okonkwo's fans and followers took to the comment section, equally expressing their displeasure with the state of the nation.
The criticism comes after President Tinubu departed Abuja for Paris on August 19, 2024, using the new Airbus A330.
The new jet is said to have replaced the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 (BBJ) bought under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
