Amosun jets to Saudi aboard N26m chartered flight

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday travelled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Amosun, who jetted out aboard a N26 million chartered flight, left the shores of Nigeria to perform this year's Umrah (lesser Hajj).

The governor was accompanied on the holy pilgrimage by an array of his aides.

His advance team departed Nigeria for Saudi Arabia about three days ago.

Sources close to the seat of government in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta confided in the Nigerian Compass that a sum of N26 million was paid for Amosun's chartered flight.

The trip has already sent tongues wagging as people of the state are wondering the rationale behind the governor's decision to use such a whopping sum apparently from the state coffers.

It will be recalled that Amosun's penchant for exorbitant chartered flight generated controversy in February, this year, when he travelled to the Philippines on a business trip.

The rash of criticisms that followed the Philippines trip apparently forced the governor to change and board commercial flights for subsequent air travels.
