If reports from Southwest Youths National Development Forum is anything to go by then former Governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has acquired for himself a new private jet, worth $50million.
The group quoting a source close to the National leader of the All Progressive Congress said the jet is a Bombadier Global Express XRS, the same type owned by Forbe’s richest man in Africa Aliko Dangote, Folorunsho Alakija and Mike Adenuga Jnr.
It said Aviation experts says the luxurious asset would cost nothing less than $50million or more depending on specification.
From Bombadier Challenger 605, Dassault Falcon 900, to Gulfstream G550, such private jets range from $20m-$60m.
While details of the purchase is still unknown but reports say the jet was ordered from the US and facilitated in Europe.
The Jet, which is the second owned by the politician, was allegedly purchased so that Tinubu would not be refuelling when he goes on long haul journeys.
