Documents seen by pointblanknews.com shows that the Minister for State,
\nPetroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has been using and paying the same Bombadier
\nand VistaJet linked to embattled Kola Aluko for which former Petroleum
\nMinister, Diezani Madueke spent a whooping N2billion to hire.<\/p>\n
Pointblanknews.com had reported earlier in the week that Dr. Kachiwku
\nspent a whooping N182million hiring the Private Jet on his recent trip to
\nChina for a three day investment roadshow.<\/p>\n
But a group hired by the Minister for State had claimed in a Press
\nStatement Friday that the Minister never uses private Jets and never paid
\nN182million for his recent road show trip to China.<\/p>\n
However, investigation shows that Kachikwu have been using Bombardier and
\nVistaJet Holding SA luxury private jets used by former Minister for
\nPetroleum, Diezani Allison-Madueke.<\/p>\n
Kola Aluko, linked to the VistaJet Holding SA, is one of Diezani\u2019s cronies
\nand currently facing trials for money laundering and oil fraud.
\nDocuments from NAMA Air Traffic Control Towers, seen by Pointblanknews.com
\nindicate that Kachikwu has been using the VistaJet private jets since
\nassumption of office.<\/p>\n
He used same to a function in the South-South and also flew in it to the
\nburial ceremony of the mother of Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor in
\nDelta state.<\/p>\n
A group, The Niger Delta Indigenous Movement For Radical Change (NDIMRC)
\non Friday came to the rescue of the minister claiming that the minister
\nhas never embarked on a trip on chartered flight.<\/p>\n
According to NDIMRC’s Nelly Emma, \u201cWe want to let these faceless groups
\nand individuals who are at it\u00a0 again to know that their information is not
\ncorrect as he never embarked on a\u00a0 trip to China on a Chattered Flight
\ncosting #182 Million at a time when Nigerians are complaining of hardship.
\nHe is not insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. To show he is prudent,
\nhe has never used Private Jet since he came on board\u00a0 and\u00a0 we know he will
\nnever do that\u201d, the group added.<\/p>\n
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that the faceless NDIMRC, an association
\nnot known to any Niger Delta group, was hurriedly packaged in the office
\nof the Minister to issue the statement denying Kachikwu\u2019s flamboyant and
\nextravagant life style.<\/p>\n
The NNPC’s spokesperson Garba Deen Muhammed, recently confirmed that the
\nminister has embarked on trips with the luxurious VistaJet.<\/p>\n
“The VistaJet that we are using is owned by the companies with whom NNPC
\nhas joint venture agreements. And you know that the NNPC has about 60 per
\ncent in its JVs.”<\/p>\n
\u201cSo since we have 60 per cent of the JVs, anything that has to do with the
\nJV operations, including jets and so on, we are entitled to use it.
\nTherefore, it does not cost NNPC a single kobo to use VistaJet that you
\nmentioned.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison-Madueke denied ever paying
\nhuge sums to hire Private Jets for her personal and official functions
\nuntil documents proved otherwise that she has indeed been spending
\nbillions in Private Jet Charter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
