The Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor-Kalu, has disclosed that he has stopped using his private jet
In a video obtained by Punch on Saturday, the lawmaker explained that he stopped using his private jet because of the economic situation in the country.
Uzor-Kalu explained that he now patronises commercial flights.
He disclosed that he had to ground the jet to drive revenue by leasing it for the airlift of officials of oil companies.
Naija News understands that Uzor-Kalu is among the first politically exposed persons to own and maintain private jets.
He said, “Honestly, I have stopped using my private jet since 2nd of August 2024. I want to maintain that till we sort out the differential of workers in Nigeria and West Africa their salaries. Because buying fuel and the rest of them, I don’t need to explain to you, my dear, for now, I have grounded the private jet to do some other business for oil companies.”
While disclosing his alternative to prosecute future travels, he added, “I want to maintain that way. Don’t ask me again there are commercial planes that are on schedule, and I will use them to the glory of God.”
