Secret Reporters
Just like his dubious brother, Dumebi Kachikwu, who goes about duping wealthy Nigerians, Secret Reporters can authoritatively reveal that Nigeria’s junior Minister of Petroleum, Mr Ibe Kachikwu has been duping the country by dipping his hands into the national treasury on air pleasure.
According to reliable sources who confided in this medium, Ibe Kachikwu has never entered a public flight since he was made minister. Like Alison Madueke, he has turned the oil ministry into his private bank, where he ditches out money to aviation hiring companies to enable him charter their private jets.
Kachikwu known for his expensive lifestyle has extended this needless charter of jets to even private matter, including allegedly using it for parties. We were made to understand that the Asaba Airport receives him about eight times in a month, with the jet always on ground to wait for him.
The cost of the private jet hired by the All Progressive Congress (APC) political Lilliputian minister goes for N8.2 million per hour and the flight is expected to park for five hours waiting for him, which costs the nation about N41 million only on first flight and another N41 million for return. For the eight times return flight, the nation loses over N320 million on just the Minister’s flight.
Calls made to minister’s direct line on 0817207**** was not picked neither did he return the call before press time.
