I Have Never Flown First Class In My Life – Ben Murray Bruce

Yesterday was the Silverbird Man of The Year awards in Lagos, and the Chairman of the Silverbird Group and Senator elect, Ben Murray-Bruce in a very heart rending and touching speech revealed to have never flown a first class flight in his life. He also charged Nigerian politicians and leaders to think about the common man as they are in positions to serve the people and not enrich themselves. According to him,

‘I have never flown first class in my life. Our leaders must be accountable, I have never stayed in a hotel that’s more that 300 dollars a night, it doesn’t make sense to lodge in a 4000 dollar hotel, not because I can’t afford it, but because if I think of the masses, I run a company and at the end of the month I have to make payroll, so I can’t justify it, our politicians must imbibe this attitude as well. Nigeria is too poor for our leaders to act like multi-billionaires, and Nigeria is to rich for our people to be poor’.
