The House of Representatives have reacted to Oby Ezekwesili's "bogus" claims of their finances:
"If we are truly talking about cutting cost of governance, it has to be across the three arms. If that is the case, how do you explain a fleet of 10 aircraft in the presidential fleet and how do you maintain them?
“Again, how do you defend N2b spent on air tickets by a minister, and that is just one Minister, what about the rest despite the fact that there is a presidential fleet. Why do we need up to 40 Ministers in the first place?
“The legislature and the judiciary have principal officers too and they
have to travel as well; how many aircraft are they maintaining?”
