Tinubu's $100M Jet and the Fuel Subsidy Fallout: A Nation Divided
President Bola Tinubu’s bold claim that removing the fuel subsidy was a necessary step to secure the future of Nigeria’s youth has sparked fierce backlash. At a key event for the National Youth Conference, Tinubu defended his decision, insisting it was all for the future of young Nigerians. “Every decision I’ve made is for your future,” he said, vowing that his reforms would strengthen the economy and keep skilled professionals in the country.
But just hours later, a storm erupted. The government had purchased a $100 million presidential jet, a lavish Airbus A330-200, at a time when ordinary Nigerians are grappling with soaring costs and economic hardship.
The contrast was too much for many to ignore. How can the president preach sacrifice and financial prudence, only to splash billions on luxury jets?
Tinubu insists the reforms are starting to pay off—exchange rates stabilizing, goods prices falling, investor confidence rising. But the public isn’t convinced. How will this play out? Will the youth believe in the reforms, or will the president's extravagant purchase fuel further outrage?
The nation waits, holding its breath. What do you think—can Tinubu justify the jet, or is this a political gamble that could backfire?
