Former Presidential Spokesman, Ima Niboro, has dismissed a rehashed 2010 report detailing how former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan rejected the presidential yacht from the navy and directed them to use the funds to refurbish their aging fleet.
He stated that the issue of the presidential yacht is probably as old as the navy itself. The issue came up under President Olusegun Obasanjo. He rejected it and reportedly directed the navy to convert it to a special purpose gun boat. Like Obasanjo and Jonathan, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has also roundly rejected the so called presidential yacht, and has distanced himself and his administration from it.
