A former National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank, has accused Bola Tinubu’s administration of prioritizing lavish spending over meaningful reforms.
Frank highlighted the purchase of a new presidential jet, approval of a 300 per cent as salary increment for judicial officers, planned building of official quarters for judges of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and the acquisition of a N5 billion presidential Yacht as part of the lavish spending by Tinubu’s administration.
The former APC spokesman recalled that Tinubu’s administration recently established the Ministries of Livestock and Regional Development.
Frank made this known in a statement which partly reads,”Notwithstanding that his plan to merge agencies in line with the Steve Oronsaye Report, has been jettisoned, he has equally encouraged the National Assembly to approve the establishments of zonal development commissions out of which he has assented to the North West and South East zonal intervention agencies’ bills.

“The President is well aware that restricting ministers’ vehicles and security details does not tackle the systemic corruption that inflates government expenditures.
“Furthermore, his administration continues to prioritize lavish spending over meaningful reforms, like the purchase of a new presidential jet, approval of 300 per cent increase in salary of judicial officers, building of official quarters for judges being planned by the FCT and the acquisition of a N5 billion presidential Yacht.”
