The House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence has recommended that the Federal Government purchase new aircraft for President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. This suggestion is detailed in a report released after the committee's investigation into the current status of the aircraft in the presidential air fleet.

The report states, "The committee is firmly convinced that, given the fragile structure of the Nigerian federation and the significant risks of any potential technical or operational failures within the presidential air fleet, it is in the country's best interest to procure two additional aircraft. This will be cost-effective in the long run and provide a suitable, comfortable, and safe carrier befitting the offices of the president and vice-president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

In May, the House of Representatives tasked the committee with conducting a "comprehensive investigation" to assess the airworthiness and technical status of the presidential fleet. This resolution came after Satomi Ahmed, chairman of the House Committee, sponsored a motion addressing concerns over the fleet's condition.

The motion sparked intense debate in the House, with some lawmakers suggesting that the president should travel using commercial aircraft or by road. Ahmed's motion was influenced by reports of faulty aircraft within the presidential fleet, which had previously forced the president to charter a plane from the Netherlands to Saudi Arabia during an international trip.
