One of the aides to the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Governor Seyi Makinde who spoke on condition of anonymity has responded to news that his boss recently acquired a private jet.
When asked to confirm if truly, the aide said ” ‘it’s wicked and stupid! I don’t know how to respond to such’.
A report monitored online by papermache.com alleged that the Governor has joined the league of jet owners in Nigeria.
Governor Makinde was said to have been spotted at the Felix Houphouet Airport, Abidjan alighting from the aircraft alongside, Alhaji Azeem Gbolarumi and Alhaji Bisi Olopoeniyan at the just concluded AFCON finals.
This stemmed the report that the Governor has just acquired the private jet for his private use.
Another aide of the Governor who refused to add his name, citing reasons that he wasn’t allowed to make official comments responded to the allegation as ‘funny! How can you say somebody bought a jet because he alighted from it?’.
