Two days ago the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, flew a private jet to Delta state to commission an altar in a church at “King Jesus and I Ministry’s Covenant Alter of Testimony.”
According to Sahara Reporters, the private jet is estimated to cost
about N1,392,650 ($7K) per hour, which means the speaker’s estimated
two-day trip cost about N66.8 million ($336,000).
Dogara meets with traditional rulers
When an online news portal Sahara Reporters broke the news, Dogara told the media that he paid for the trip himself and he did not use public money to fund his personal trip.
The speaker a member of the ruling party the All Progressives
Congress (APC), just began his term in the National Assembly on a
campaign, which promised to fight corruption and waste in government.
