Tinubu did not ask for Presidential Yacht- Spokesman Tope Ajayi says

President Bola Tinubu did not ask for a presidential yacht.

A special assistant to the President, Tope Ajayi, stated this.

His reaction comes after outrage from Nigerians to the frivolous spendings contained in the N2.1 trillion supplementary budget Tinubu submitted to the National Assembly.

According to the budget, N5.09 billion was allocated for the yacht, listed under the Nigerian Navy’s proposed capital expenditure of N42.3 billion.

According to Tope AjayiIt is important to state clearly that President Bola Tinubu didn’t ask for a presidential yatch and I doubt he needs one to perform the functions of his office. From what I know, the request for a yacht, however it is named or couched in the budget is from the Navy and they must have operational reasons for why it is required.

“The budget office should be in a position to also explain to the public why such expenditure should be accommodated now, considering the economic situation of the country. I must readily admit that the one reason our budgeting system has been a subject of public attack is the very simplistic way some of the line items are described by civil servants, who prepare the budget.”
