NAAPE Threatens To Boycott Flying Into Rivers State If Pilots Are Not Released by Tetrahedron: 10:14am On Apr 08, 2020
The National President of National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) comrade Galadima Abednego described the arrest and detention of NAAPE members by the Rivers State Government led by Governor Nyeson Wike as unwarranted attacked.

The NAAPE President urged Wike to immediately release the pilots and tender an apology failing which the association will direct all pilots both local and international to boycott flying into Rivers state now and post lock down.

He however, observed with dismay why Innocent Pilots, who are on the frontline complimenting government efforts, will suffer unnecessary humiliation and harassment for doing a service that is essential and vital to the survival of the nation’s economy.

Acceding to Galadima, “It is a fact that the flight was duly authorised by all agencies involved from the point of law but one wonders why power tussle between Federal and state will override national interest .”

“At this juncture NAAPE deems the actions of Rivers state government as an unwarranted attacked on our members is left with no other option than to demand and immediate release of the pilots and an apology from His Execellency the Executive Governor of Rivers state failing which we will direct all pilots both local and International to boycott flying into Rivers state now and post lock down.”

He commended the concerted efforts of the Federal Government in ensuring Nigerians are well protected from the ravaging hands of Coronavirus.

Bubu should give N10B to Wike just like he gave Lagos. That is the ransom to pay for the release of the kidnapped pilots

The yeye govt know what he is doing, that is why he went for Caverton Helicopters owned by Makanjuola.

To wike everything is politics, federal government should give him money so we can have peace. Many workers are stranded in the field, today and tomorrow is crew change and you are arresting caverton pilots.

He should have issued a warning letter to the management of the company. But I think it is better for them to settle amicably.

They disobeyed the state government directives which prohibits people flying in and out of the state at this time of coronavirus pandemic. Wike is doing all that is within his powers to protect Rivers State. Blame the pilots.

I agree but why arrest professionals doing their work, then the company should have been shutdown or fined its just like saying doctors should be arrested when they declare someone positive for covid

Wike is an inconsiderate person. Those pilots haven't broken any law, the President made it clear that essential services providers are exempted from any form of lockdown. Is Wike telling us that his own government is bigger than Buhari's Federal government?

He took them into custody because they refused to provide the flight manifest ..why are they hiding the identity of the occupants of the helicopter ..In this times Caverton manifest should even contain not just the names but also the addresses of it passengers for easy contact tracing ...

They broke the quarantine act by flying people into rivers incognito and now the Govt cannot verify the health status of those people and can't reach them because the pilots have refused to handover the flight manifest to the state government ... At this point he could charge them for providing conditions and material support favorable to bio Terrorism

Offshore helicopter services have been ongoing without a problem because the oil companies don't joke with HSE but this particular flight had nothing to do with the oil industry but private individuals the govt wants to know more about .

Wike has a valid point.. if you are ready to expose his state to expatriates and essential travels, you should equip him to be ready to fight the virus..

When the chips are down or when it goes bad, the Governor would be heaped all the blame.

Is Wike not fueling his car? How is he getting fuel? Is Wike not moving around with a retinue of staff?
Those guys in the oil sector are on ESSENTIAL DUTY and the President directives supersede anything Wike the mad man is doing
