The Presidency has responded to criticism following the use of the Presidential Jet by one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s children, saying they have the right to use the jet.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made the statement on Saturday.
Shehu said,
“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.”
Hanan, according Naijapals, was conveyed by the Presidential jet to attend the Durbar in Bauchi on Thursday.
The President’s daughter, who recently graduated with a first-class in Photography from Ravensbourne University, London, was said to have been invited by the Emir of Bauchi, Rilwanu Adamu, as a special guest of honour.
In photographs which have since gone viral on social media, Hanan could be seen disembarking from the plane and being welcomed by Bauchi State officials.
