"One of the major killer of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plunder away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted.
Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses. You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so much aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton. Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year." Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy."We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian Airways. "We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year increase the fleet into about 20."
