The presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina has faulted the criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari by the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, over the sales of the presidential fleet.
Bishop Kukah had asked the president to do a postmortem of his administration to see he did fulfilled his promises which include selling some of the country’s aircraft fleet.
Adesina argued that Buhari never promised to sell off the presidential fleet, saying: “Those things don’t do credit to Father Kukah’s intellectual posture. He is somebody that we had always admired for his intellectual bent but his opinions have been coloured by politics.
“He talked about selling the presidential fleet. Was that ever promised? In 2015, there were promises made that even the candidate did not know about.”
He said if the provisions of Nigeria want the president to travel in commercial flights, Buhari would gladly do so.
