I have never flown first class in my life” –
Silverbird Boss Ben Murray Bruce says
Chairman of Silverbird Group and Senator-Elect
Mr. Ben Murray Bruce has revealed that he has
never flown in first class before despite his
wealth.
Speaking at the Man of the Year Award in Lagos
last night, May 3, 2015, the Silverbird boss also
said he has not stayed at an hotel over $300 per
night. "I have never flown first class in my life.
Our leaders must be accountable, I have never
stayed in a hotel that’s more than 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" he said.
"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 too rich for our
people to be poor" he further stated.
