Do you travel by chartered or private flight? Or can you fligh by private jet to Yankee and expect to alight and exit airport with a handshake.

habiham:
Why now And when last you check tinubu and others

ManirBK:
Atiku was just trying to draw unnecessary sympathies from people who could easily be fooled by his political propaganda.

Racoon:
So Atiku started using using Private jets today? Guess the one he donated for Buhari campaign in 2015 was being searched whenever it leaves and arrives Nigeria then?

Even the APC knows they are doing this disgraceful damage control because they are totally clueless on how to answer the Atiku question as they never envisaged it coming.

I guess Oshiomole, Tinubu,Gov.Ganduje have been using private jets but no one care about searching them.Bunch of retards.

MinCeteris:


They do check Tinubu and others, it is only that they don't make noise like your Atiku.

Atiku is just seeking for political sympathy from illiterates like you. Ask him if he was not checked on arrival at Dubai airport.

The Federal Government on Sunday said the search on the aircraft of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, at the Abuja airport was a routine exercise that applied to all international arrivals.

The Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja.

Sirika said while it was true that the Task Force on Currency at the airport did the routine action of checking the former Vice President’s travel bag, he was accorded full respect as a senior citizen.

He described the checks as mandatory, conventional, internationally applied and routine, adding that no one is excused from them under the nation’s laws.

While urging law-abiding citizens to respect the laws of the country, Sirika advised prominent Nigerians not to seek to be treated over and above the citizens they wish to serve.

The minister claimed that the public outcry that followed the routine exercise was a mischievous attempt to grab headlines.

The statement read, “This is a mischievous attempt to grab the headlines. Nigerians need to know that one of the resolutions of the Atiku team at their recently-concluded, opulently-held Dubai retreat was to embark on scaremongering. This is one of such.

“For the records, all incoming passengers on international flights go through customs, immigration, health and security screening.

“Where the aircraft is using the private, charter wing, as the PDP candidate did, such arrivals are met by a team of the immigration, customs and other security agencies. They go to the arriving aircraft as a team.

“The airport authorities confirm that this is a routine process, applying to all international arrivals, including the minister unless the passenger is the President of Nigeria. The President, the Vice President and passengers aboard planes on the Presidential air fleet use the Presidential wing of the airport.

“It is also important to state that even in the Presidential Wing of the airport the President of Nigeria uses, there is the presence of immigration and other security officials who must stamp his or her passport on arrival.

“By standard procedure, all aircraft on international arrivals must first of all park at the international wing of the aircraft. They can move to the domestic terminal only upon the completion of the arrival processes.

“While it is true that the Task Force on Currency at the airport did the routine action of checking the former Vice President’s travel bag, he was accorded full respect as a senior citizen.

“These checks are mandatory, conventional, internationally applied and routine. No one is excused from them under our laws. These checks are carried out on all international arrivals and President Buhari does not get involved in them.

“Law-abiding citizens are encouraged to respect the laws of the country and our VIPs should not seek to be treated over and above the citizens they wish to serve.”

ManirBK:
Let Atiku back it with video clip. Let's see how the search was aimed at intimidating him.

adetayo234:


What propaganda again? You mean the one already confirmed by the airport authority by themselves that they actually searched Atiku's plane?

Now, dump sentiment aside for just a moment and ask yourself if this is the first time Atiku would be using that jet. How come they haven't been searching all these while? Please ask yourself that question, instead of insulting your own intelligence

Yankee101:


The more exclusive the class you travel in the less scrutiny you get.

When I take business or first class, I get on and off first. I use different entrances with less checks sometimes. It's the same route private jets take. In Dubai a limo comes to pick you from home to the airport free. You wait in the exclusive VIP Emirates lounge. You use Marhaba to skip the lines etc.

All that check you see when flying coach, not everyone gets treated like that. Why do you think airline crew are into drug smuggling? Cos their exclusive treatment means less checks.

docadams:


I disagree with you on that exclusive treatment for airline crew. The get scrutinized nowadays for reason of drug smuggling, hijacking, fatigue, and other vices

ManirBK:
This is not your corrupt PDP in power its APC. Every citizen is equal before the Law. Last week APC chairman is under the custody of DSS no one complain but here you are complaining about normal procedure. This is an indication that voting in PDP is bringing back the era of lawlessness in the nation.

ManirBK:
You can only tell this to your fools party supporters but not us

If your other claims are true, I wonder why South American drug lords are not making a free landing on American soil with their private jets.

adetayo234:


Your soul is filled with blackness and bitterness. Please purge yourself of these vices before they cause you untimely death.

Were you there when they searched other airplanes? Don't talk about what you aren't sure about.

DWJOBScom:
It’s dangerous for democracy
Of all the aircraft to search it’s was Atiku’s.
Buhari used that same aircraft for campaign and it was never searched.
This is dangerous for democracy

The other time it was DSS at the NASS

I ask again, were you there when Tinubu and others were searched? If it is a routine and done every time, why would he make noise this time? If you are looking for the real brainwashed fools, I think you should look into your mirror.

Yankee101:
I'm an ordinary Nigerian and no one tells me to open my bags upon arrival in Naija talkless of Atiku

Most people returning to their home country do not face beyond a general machine scan

When you carry too many items that look like for sale then customs will start checking
