Presidential jets: Nnamdi Kanu’s ex-lawyer, Ejiofor warns of impending disaster

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a former lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed concern over the seizure of Nigeria’s presidential jets by a Chinese company, describing it as a “disgrace” and a sign of an impending disaster. The seizure was due to a contract revoked by the Ogun State government in 2016.

Ejiofor warned that Nigeria’s sovereignty is under threat, citing the country’s growing debt and reckless borrowing habits. He stated that the seizure of the presidential jets is an indication of the country’s vulnerability to foreign judgments and potential loss of assets.

Ejiofor’s comments come after a Chinese firm, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Company, seized three Nigerian presidential jets undergoing maintenance in France. The seizure was enforced by a court order, sparking widespread criticism and concern over Nigeria’s international reputation.

The incident has raised questions about Nigeria’s ability to manage its debt and protect its assets from foreign creditors. Ejiofor’s warning highlights the need for urgent attention to address the country’s financial woes and prevent further embarrassment on the international stage.

The seizure of the presidential jets is a significant embarrassment for the Nigerian government, and Ejiofor’s comments underscore the gravity of the situation. As Nigeria navigates its debt crisis, it is essential to prioritize transparency, accountability, and responsible financial management to avoid similar incidents in the future.
