There couldn't have been complaints if NAF never allowed such thing in the past. Or did they just know that these rules exist when they want to hinder the movement of some individuals.

For those thinking that it's justified, didn't they approve a plane for that route and that time. If they changed the plane, how does that hinder movement?

They simply found a reason to hinder that movement. SHIKINAA!!!!!

Really? An unidentified and unauthorized plane should be allowed to fly into a military airbase? It will be shot down at sight.

Try flying into an air force base even in USA without prior clearance and see what will happen.

Military orders are written and signals sent to the relevant unit. It cannot be overruled verbally.

The rule is clear. why not formalize the change in aircraft with the HQ since you know it's the protocol. Nigerians are becoming irrational in reasoning....

Simply not good enough if approval was issued for an aircraft with engine problems, should expedited approval not be issued for the replacement considering the circumstances If the President was to fly to Makurdi and his plane developed a fault would all these excuses be issued for the replacement?

However, at about 5pm on 16 July 2018, the NAF was verbally informed that there was a need to change the aircraft for which permission had already been issued, reportedly because the aircraft had developed snags. The NAF, therefore, asked for another written request, in line with the established procedure. As at date, the NAF Headquarters is yet to receive a written request for the replacement aircraft with Registration Number 5N-IZY to land at its Base in Makurdi.

Are you not surprised the rate our media rushed to publish the initial lies without authenticating from the FG or NAF?

Only stupid folks complain about the lawlessness of their government only to bash it when it tries to do the right thing.

And only stupid folks would be ok with their government choosing when to do the right thing and when to act lawless.
Question is: Do they pick and choose when to follow the rules or do they make exceptions? If they don't make exceptions, then I'm cool with their decision.

I wonder why we're even discussing this. It's a military base not a normal Airport. Even in normal airports, there are procedures. Aircrafts are denied landing anywhere in the World without proper authorization. People should stop politicizing everything
Please remind them o!
In fact, what stops them from using the road self, or is the road only for the poor masses?.
Last time I Checked this is a military runway. If you are in Rome, behave like the Romans or face the music. grin.

I don’t think so. Note that the air force had earlier cleared the original aircraft, it was the substitute that wasn’t requested in writing that it rejected.

If the airforce had not wanted them to attend based on the agenda, it would have turned down the original request.

The reason given is fair enough, but as is usually the case, politicians and political minds have already swiftly turned it to a political matter to masturbate on. Except the narrative of the NAF can be refuted by affected parties, this sounds like a simple admin issue.

The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces bro. Think about it
Re: Nigeria Airforce Speaks On Refusal To Allow An Aircraft Land At Its Makurdi Base by Blue3k(m): 4:33pm On Jul 17, 2018
Common sense should tell you emergency landings are different scenario. Even civilians could land at millitary base in that scenario without a bunch paperwork. They didnt know their plan was broken when they approved it. Its the politicians responsibility to inform the NAF of any changes or simple not use runway.

Comparing the commander and chief of Nigeria to these politicans is silly. All his planes are officially registered and recognized. This issue would not have occures to begin with. All the secrurity agencies coordinate around the president's movements and would be officially informed.

All this should be common sense but you like alot of nigerians dont want to use basic reasoning. Its all blame games and victim narratives. Military bases are supposed to be secure locations where everyone is squares away and follows protocol. If thats too much for them let drive or land somewhere else.

There's just this inordinate but ridiculous obsession with politicizing everything in Nigeria. All over the world, there are rules and procedures which have to be followed in doing things. Quite often, such rules or protocols could be broken for VIPs such as the presidents or in emergency situations (I truly thought this should have been common sense knowledge).

In this case, a concession had already even been made as the application which should have been made 48 hours ahead was made same day and actually honoured. But now the argument is, "why shouldn't the procedure be broken completely?.. it is political!"

Nigerians can be amusing at times.

FFK is being mischievous. He was one time minister of aviation, he is aware of aviation protocol and processes, yet he's living in denial and ignorance because he relishes bastardizing the system he also created as one time stakeholder.
Fani-Kayode knows the truth but he knows his target audience, the extremely daft IPIGs, are too dull to analyze things & would just swallow anything, so long as it is against the government they hate!
