Fayose Knocks FG Over Diversion Of Flights by captainprogress(m): 8:33pm On Jan 06, 2017 |
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has said it is too risky and dangerous to divert local and international flights from Abuja to Kaduna as planned by the Federal Government. In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose gave knocks to the FG over what he said was its knee-jerk approach to problems. “They act before they think and they take decisions before consulting critical stakeholders. That way, they always end up putting the cart before the horse. That is how they have messed up the economy and now have brought unprecedented grief, misery, poverty and suffering on Nigerians”, he said. The Federal Government has said it would close down the Abuja airport for six weeks to repair the runway, during which period Abuja flights will be diverted to Kaduna from where the Federal Government said passengers would now be transported to Abuja. The Airlines Operators of Nigeria has rejected the government’s plan, insisting there were better ways of repairing the Abuja runway without closing the airport. International airline operators and their domestic counterparts are also opposed to the close-down option. Fayose described the security situation of Kaduna and its environment as worrisome, saying this alone disqualified Kaduna. He also complained about the dilapidated state of the Kaduna-Abuja road, which he described as a “death-trap”. “This same Kaduna is where Shiites waylaid a whole Chief of Army Staff; the crisis created is yet to abate as the Shiites continue to defy the authorities to mount public protests. “This is the same Kaduna where over a thousand citizens have been slaughtered like rams and the FG has not brought a single of the murderers to book. The situation in southern Kaduna and in other parts remains as tense as ever. “This is the same Kaduna-Abuja death-trap of a road where a sitting Minister of the Federal Republic, his wife and son lost their lives in a road mishap. This is the same Kaduna-Abuja road where a Minister and her husband were kidnapped in broad daylight. “It is also on this same road that an Army officer was butchered; where herdsmen parade their herds in broad daylight causing avoidable accidents and other inconveniences to travellers. This is the same road where Boko Haram and other criminally-minded hoodlums operate at will”, he said. He chided the government for taking a decision before assembling the critical stakeholders, whose advice now runs against the grains of government’s thinking. “Why are they always leaping before they look”, he asked, saying that the decision to close down the Abuja airport will further worsen the country’s economic recession. “We will lose business to neighbouring countries; a government that is parroting diversification of the economy will lose non-oil revenue. “An aviation sector that is in crisis before will have its situation worsened. Expect more jobs to be lost in that sector, further worsening the alarming unemployment problem in the country”, he said. Aligning with the position of the airlines operators who are resisting the Federal Government’s relocation order, Fayose said all the necessary logistics, such as rehabilitation of the Kaduna-Abuja road, provision of adequate security, and adequate consultation ought to have been undertaken before the FG decided to go ahead with the plan. He advised the government to immediately constitute a high-powered team composed of Nigerians with the requisite expertise to handle this very critical national assignment, stressing that our image as a country is at stake because foreign nationals are involved. “In Nigeria under the APC\Buhari administration, we seem to value cows more than human lives but this is not the case with foreign governments which place premium on the lives of their citizens. They are not likely to allow our government gamble with the lives of their citizens”, he added. Assuring Nigerians and the international community that he would continue to speak out whenever the occasion demands; the governor advised the APC\Buhari administration to be courageous enough to admit its mistakes and retrace its steps because so much is at stake. “But by their nature, they are usually nonchalant. They believe everything starts and ends with political power, which is very sad. They must change this attitude because it is responsible for the untold suffering that our people are going through today”, he added. http://dailypost.ng/2017/01/06/fayose-knocks-fg-diversion-flights/ 3 Likes |

Maybe flights should be diverted to ekiti so mr kpomo will be happy. ... security or not kaduna is way better than ekiti to start with...kaduna-abuja road a dead trap? Why didn't GEJ fixed the road or was it not among the 25000 road constructed by GEJ... Truly the road is not in good shape and with the diversion to kaduna will make the federal government work on the kaduna-abuja road... Is fayose scared of landing in kaduna? 3 Likes |

sarrki: Minister of aviation does not own the aviation sector and besides, Fayose is also a stake holder. He will focus solely on Ekiti when Nigeria starts practicing true federalism and the FGN will no longer be able to induce state house of assembly members to impeach a governor that is not on it's fold. 1 Like |

“But by their nature, they are usually nonchalant. They believe everything starts and ends with political power, which is very sad. They must change this attitude because it is responsible for the untold suffering that our people are going through today”, he added. how can a nation/FG for crying out, government of change plan, then act without involving people from the sector. Sometimes I think once anybody is in politics they become "stupidd" or "brainlesss" . the best option is for Nigeria Government to be privatised because every private sector knows the right things to do. |

Everytime I get to see or read about Fayose and Wike,still in their official capacity as governors,d only 2 things that comes to my mind about PMB are dull and incompetent. How can these 2 glorified thugs still be governors in a country with a president?Thats gross incompetence. |

TheFreeOne: Is there any new crisis that didn't exist before? Its obvious that people like you are saddiata and never do well I mean what on earth is fayoses business with the reconstruction of the runway? After critising he didn't give any solution or alternative and neither have you and your cohorts If they start probing how much they have spent on renovating and constructing new runways of ABUJA airport people like you will shout witch hunting You Dont want the airports fixed? You Dont want the runways fixed? If it were buhari that was talking about kidnappings and accidents you will say he is giving the country bad press, but fayose is here scaring off potential aviation partners and foreigners coming into Nigeria all because of politics I ask you again what is your solution! And why hasn't the reconstruction of the run way been carried out for over 20 years Money was budgeted for it....under obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan twice it was not carried out....
