President Muhammadu Buhari has come under severe attack following reports of a helipad to be installed in his hometown, Daura, Katsina state.
It was earlier reported that the federal government is building a helipad in Daura in order to ensure a direct flight for the President Buhari whenever he visits his country home.
However, this report has been greeted with extreme repugnance by Nigerians on social media who see the development as a deviance from the major agenda “change”.

We buy an armored Mercedes-Benz S600 Maybach, new helipad, & billions in bailouts for reckless governors from an empty treasury. Who are we?

@ifebuche Katsina to Daura is just as short a distance as Kaduna to Zaria. 30mins or less for even a crawling convoy.

Matthew Shaibu (who lives in Sapele, Nigeria) said: “When shall this corruption stop? Buhari of all people cannot move by road within the country to see the state of our roads.”
Vino Davis (From Oron, Akwa Ibom) said: “But GEJ didn’t build helipad in Otueke. The Chopper that carried him always landed in an open field. OBJ didn’t build helipad in Ota that I know nor heard of. Hmmmmmm this is “CHANGE” indeed!”
Yaga Nuell (Businessman) said: “Hmmm, what about the fleet of cars he bought?….this man is selfish.”
Chidi Egemba (Lives in Lagos) said: “Another extravagant expenditure & they said they met empty treasury. Where is the money from?”
James Moore said: “building helipad with an empty treasury. It is well.”Meanhwile, football legend David Beckham and wife Victoria Beckham have just been granted planning permission to build the helipad on the grounds where they often receive friends and guests who travel by private helicopter in the gardens of their luxury Hertfordshire home, dubbed Beckingham Palace.
The cost of installing the pad is estimated to be about £10,000 (N2m)
