The presidency has revealed that the operational naval boat with specialised gadgets referred to as Presidential Yacht in the 2023 supplementary budget is not for the use of President Bola Tinubu.
A statement by the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday, explained that it is called a presidential yacht by way of nomenclature because of the high-level security features.
He also said the boat was ordered by the navy under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari and that Mr Tinubu was only planning to purchase the boat because government is a continuum.
Royal Times gathered that the statement came hours after the House of Representatives scrapped the controversial five billion naira presidential yacht from the supplementary budget.
