He noted that the presidential jet can be used by President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife and children.
He said this while reacting to the criticism on social media over the use of the presidential jet by Buhari’s daughter to a private ceremony in Bauchi.
Hanan Buhari was invited to the Durbar by Rilwanu Adamu, emir of Bauchi, on Thursday and was expected to document the event and other tourist attractions in the state.
Shehu said the presidency authorised the visit and informed the office of the national security adviser (NSA) to release the jet.
“It’s true that a member of the First Family was flown to Bauchi yesterday on a mission duly authorised,” Shehu told a popular Nigerian Newspaper.
“It wasn’t an impromptu or improper trip because it followed normal procedure. The Presidency informed the National Security Adviser of the mission who in turn informed the Commander of the Presidential Air Fleet.
“The normal practice in existence for a long time is that the Presidential Air fleet is available to the President and the first family and four others.
“These four are the Vice President, the Senate President the Speaker and any other person(s) authorised by the President.”

ReplyDeleteNo other president before him gave the presidential jet to his family members to fly.
ReplyDeleteGarba, lie another lie.
Patience Jonathan used our presidential jet to do kabukabu. She ordered for it to be taken to Malawi to fly Joyce Banda, former Malawian president to Nigeria and taken back.
DeleteSilly PR from Garba Shehu, he could have kept silent and let it blow away. Well a large number of Nigerians enjoy being led by the nose so...
ReplyDeleteThey can all use the presidential jet na, since all his family members are president, he should also invite his extended family to come use it too awon were
ReplyDeletePresidential lying mouth

They should have practiced what they were preaching before coming into power.

They should have just rented a private jet...how much will she be paid for snapping pishure sef? Anyway, anything Bubu is kurukere
ReplyDeleteHaters you can go to hell
ReplyDeleteI don’t know the position of the law on this but I have seen trump children in a private jet
ReplyDeleteYes the first family is entitled to the jet but we are all hypocrites.Everywhere in the world the first family enjoy these pecks and more but because we all hate Buhari we no go gree for him own.If some peoples dads were president,they will tell people to go out of a shopping mall cos they want to shop sef so pls stop lying to yourselves.
ReplyDeleteThey should keep hating on him and his family kò kan ayé,if their fathers too is in power they will use it.
DeleteSo that huge plane puctured is what one person used. Climate change is affecting Africa and most Africans aren't even aware. Let them keep accepting these foolishness at their own peril.
ReplyDeleteThey are not entitled to our private jet unless they are on official duty with their dad. It's our tax payers monies that is being used for running the govgovernment . They shouldn't use private jet to go buy sweet.
ReplyDeleteBe candid,if you were in her shoes, wont you use it too. Pls keep kwayet.Y'al are hypocrite
ReplyDeleteNo, I wouldn't. When you are a person of integrity there are some lines you don't cross. I know that she has to have bodyguards and if she lives at the villa she has to eat, use water and electricity, but why should the taxpayers be held accountable for her recreational pursuits. This thing that she used the plane for is not beneficial to the nation or anyone in the nation. She should get a regular 9-5 like every other new grad and pay her way. None of his children are adding value to the country so why should they suck from the country when they are not enhancing it in anyway. People with lesser education, lesser name and even younger ones than those kids are doing way more for the improvement of the country.
