The Director General, Media and
Communications at the Kano state
government house, Salihu Tanko Yakasi, has
reacted to the viral photo of the state
governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje,
“wrongly” wearing his seat belt in a private
jet. Many Nigerians on social media
yesterday mocked the state governor for
using the seat belt on a private jet as though
he was in a car.
Tanko this morning released a statement
written in Hausa in which he stated that the
Governor was wearing the seat belt
correctly as some private jets have their
seatbelts constructed like that of cars. The
statement in Hausa read
“Ga wadanda ba su taba hawa Private Jet ba,
bari na dan wayar muku da kai. Shi seatbelt
din mafi yawancin sa ba irin na sauran
jiragen passenger bane irin su Azman da
Arik, shi seatbelt din sa irin na mota ne
kamar yadda kuke gani a hotonun nan.
Muna fatan Allah Ya bawa kowa ikon hawa
private jet ko sau daya ne ko Allah zai sa kan
wasu ya waye. Amin!”.
