Rivers State Governor Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday said contrary to report, the state government's private jet cost $45m (N7.1bn) and not $57m (N9bn).
The governor said this through his Commissioner of Information and Communications Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, in an interview with Punch correspondent in Port Harcourt.
Amaechi described the allegations that he inflated the cost of the jet by $10m as unfounded and a figment of the imagination of those spreading such false information.
According to him, the allegations were targeted at distracting the state government from its responsibly of developing the state.
'The state government has never announced that the aircraft was purchased for $57m. That statement did not come from us. The aircraft was bought for U$45m. We see all these as a distraction,' Amaechi said.
My Lord, billions of Naira for a private plane from tax payers money?
So sir, the difference is N2 bn abi? that's what you want us to know, the big difference ...this people are sick.
