Senate president, Godswill Akpabio has debunked the claim of the 10th Senate allegedly proposing procurement of a new aircraft for President Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima.

Addressing newsmen after leading a delegation to pay a condolence visit to Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno over the death of his father, Akpabio stated that the report was not true.

The senate president claimed that the report was from propagandists and fifth columnists as the Senate is focused on delivering legislation that would support the actualization of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said; 

“I want to dispel the rumour that you are hearing that the Senate President said he will buy a new plane for the President and his Vice, irrespective of the fact that Nigerians are hungry or whatever.

“I never said that. I was actually in Zanzibar, Tanzania. It is the handiwork of propagandists and fifth columnists, who never see anything good in what we are doing. Be rest assured, pray for the government, have patience, and be assured that the combination of Tinubu and Shettima will bring wealth and prosperity to all.

“I am happy to see that peace has returned to Borno, as a result of the hard work of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I want to tell the good people of Borno to continue to support the administration.”
