Nigerians Fume Over FG's Plan To Build Helipad In Daura

It was earlier reported that the federal government is building a helipad in Daura in order to ensure a direct flight for the President Buhari whenever he visits his country home.

However, this report has been greeted with extreme repugnance by Nigerians on social media who see the development as a deviance from the major agenda “change”.

Matthew Shaibu (who lives in Sapele, Nigeria) said: “When shall this corruption stop? Buhari of all people cannot move by road within the country to see the state of our roads.”

Vino Davis (From Oron, Akwa Ibom) said: “But GEJ didn’t build helipad in Otueke. The Chopper that carried him always landed in an open field. OBJ didn’t build helipad in Ota that I know nor heard of. Hmmmmmm this is “CHANGE” indeed!”

Yaga Nuell (Businessman) said: “Hmmm, what about the fleet of cars he bought?….this man is selfish.”

Chidi Egemba (Lives in Lagos) said: “Another extravagant expenditure & they said they met empty treasury. Where is the money from?”

James Moore said: “building helipad with an empty treasury. It is well.”Meanhwile, football legend David Beckham and wife Victoria Beckham have just been granted planning permission to build a helipad in the gardens of their luxury Hertfordshire home, dubbed Beckingham Palace.

The helipad will be installed on the grounds where they often receive friends and guests who travel by private helicopter

The cost of installing the pad is estimated to be about £10,000 (N2m).
