Fani-Kayode walks out on German ambassador
By Our Reporter - 04.12.2006

THE Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, recently walked out on the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Joachim Christoph Schmillen, over flights by a German airline, Lufthansa. The ambassador had gone to the minister to demand for an explanation on sanctions placed on the airline for operating unapproved routes in the country.


A top official of the aviation ministry, who asked not to be named, told the Nigerian Tribune that Fani-Kayode blasted the ambassador for allegedly abetting the violation of Nigeria’s aviation laws and thereafter walked out on him, leaving the ambassador confused. The minister was said to have said “I do not owe you any explanation on any decision by Mr. President or my ministry to protect the interests of Nigeria and management of aviation industry.


“You have done a great harm to this country, and as long as the President remains in government, and as long as the aviation ministry remains under my watch, I will not allow any international airline to violate the laws of Nigeria. “Your country will not allow any other country to violate its law and you don’t have any moral justification to come here and do so.”


The ambassador, according to the official, had stormed into Fani-Kayode’s office to demand an explanation for “your policies and directives always against us.” He was quoted as saying “Minister, will you please explain why you stopped the operation of our airlines”. He had not finished his statement when the minister asked him to keep quiet and asked him to leave his office.


Nigerian Tribune learnt that the genesis of the dispute between the minister and the ambassador was the operation of illegal routes by Lufthansa and Air France in both Rivers and Lagos states. Fani-Kayode was said to have directed the two airlines to stop the operation of the illegal routes or face sanctions, an order which the source said did not go down well in the German Embassy.


The ambassador, in taking the matter up with the Aviation Minister, was said to have threatened to withdraw the services of the German airline from Nigeria if the order was not lifted. Fani-Kayode, said the source, told the ambassador to carry out his threat and stop the German airline from operating in Nigeria.


Nigerian Tribune learnt that Fani-Kayode then left his office and was immediately followed by top officials of the aviation ministry who were there with him, leaving the ambassador speechless and confused.
 

Who knows, perhaps the German Ambassador hasn't quite "greased" enough palms like the rest of the Airlines may have done!  The Ambassador's statement may suggest others are doing the same things with no corresponding consequences.  Just something to think about.

That is what I've been telling people why not stick with the devil you know and reprimand him, now we have a novice stooge heading the department.  Politics is a dirty game i tell you.
 
 

My Point?

Femi Fani-Kayode is the right man for this position and you guys haven't seen anything yet; just wait and see.

I also hope that Fani would ensure that adequate punishment is meted out to those who are economic saboteurs!
In Europe the press would have gone ga-ga with this kind of news!
Also we need to take care of the Lebanese, Indian, Syrian and Chinese "business men" who have made mockery of our labor laws and mostly responsible for economic parasitism!We need to say enough is enough!
