Bola Tinubu, a man constantly aware of his own
mortality and the fact that wealth is better enjoyed while alive, he
reportedly forked out a princely $60 million recently to buy the
ultimate in toy for the big boys, a private jet; the second in his
burgeoning fleet. The All Progressives’ Congress, APC, chieftain settled
for the Global Express XRS which is able to complete transcontinental
and intercontinental flights due to its incredible powerhouse.
A statement on the jet’s site, which can
only accommodate 19 people posits, “The Global Express XRS is an
improved version of the original aircraft, offering higher cruise speed,
increased range, improved cabin layout and lighting. Such features, in
addition to the multiple bespoke luxurious configurations, make it a
perfect choice for business travel worldwide.” It was further revealed
that the plane has a range of 6170 nautical miles meaning it is able to
fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo or London without the need to refuel.
The
review states further, “The plane also features a unique system which
allows the plane to be refuelled in less than 15 minutes which is unique
for an aircraft of its class.” A former treasurer at Mobil before he
emerged governor of Lagos in 1999, it has been reported over the years
that Tinubu’s financial arsenal is yet unrivalled in political circles.
His real worth is what no one has been able to accurately estimate in
view of his multiple business and political interests. The recent
acquisition only underscores his multi billionaire status. See another below...
