Amaechi buys new aircraft
You're referring to Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation in Nigeria.
According to reports, Amaechi recently acquired a new aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 605, which is a luxury business jet. The aircraft is valued at around $30 million.
The acquisition of the aircraft has generated controversy, with some critics accusing Amaechi of using public funds to purchase the plane for personal use. However, Amaechi has denied these allegations, stating that the aircraft was purchased with his personal funds and not with public funds.
It's worth noting that as a minister, Amaechi is entitled to use government aircraft for official purposes, but he is not allowed to use public funds to purchase personal assets, including aircraft.
The controversy surrounding the acquisition of the aircraft has sparked a debate about the use of public funds by government officials and the need for greater transparency and accountability in government spending.
