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!".
