Nigeria's presidential aircraft which has been with President Muhammadu Buhari on an indefinite medical vacation in Europe has surfaced again in a video coverage of football players. 

Nigeria's Presidential Jet was spotted in London Stansted Airport on Sunday July, 9th, 2017 while Arsenal players were travelling to Australia for their pre-season tour.

 

The Presidential Jet painted in the colours of the Nigerian flag was spotted at the background of a video recording which had players, coaches and technical crew members of the English club moving around the airport.

 

The jet which was rumoured to be consuming 4,000 pounds for daily parking fees has been at the airport since President Muhammadu Buhari travelled to London for medical follow-up.

 

 

 

 

The Presidency played down reports that the Big Bird is consuming such an amount from the tax payer's sweats daily in a response to the viral report on social media.

 

Buhari's Assistant Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu stated that the plane which is expensively staying idle was parked for prestige purpose. He stated that there is a waiver for the rented space of a sum of 1,000 Pounds could be paid daily.

 

President Buhari has spent 63 days in London which is against the maximum period of 42 days of absence set for any public servant according to the code of conducts guiding the civil service.
