African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dino Melaye has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his decision to acquire an Airbus presidential jet and a yacht after taking office, calling him a “prodigal child” without identity or lineage.

In a video shared on X, Melaye contrasted Tinubu’s choice with former President Muhammadu Buhari’s purchase of an aircraft for the presidency three years before the next government. He claimed Tinubu refused to use that jet and said Tinubu was the first Nigerian to obtain an Airbus.

"They acquired an AirBus and they acquired a Yacht that has never been to the perimeter of this country before.

"Is that not a prodigal child? But it's not his fault; Yoruba people say a child with no identity.

"He has no father, no mother, no brother. I even did a competition online that if anybody can get his classmate will get N5 million, four months after not one person.

"I'm saying this for us to know the extent of the damage and the rot, Nigeria has never had it this bad, we have never seen it this terrible
