Responding to the above, Michael Achimugu, the Executive Director Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority denied the NCAA making such comments on the matter. In his post on X, Michael stated as below;
Untrue. My post had NOTHING to do with that incident, and I did not grant you any interviews. As at the time of my post, I was boarding a flight from Abuja to Lagos to anchor an event on flight disruptions at Raddison, Ikeja. I made two posts to educate both passengers and the presenting company, offering a tech solution at the event, Aero Assist Hub. I have been educating passengers and all stakeholders with this message for over a year.
About the senators case, let me make this clear:
1. The NCAA can only get involved if the aggrieved parties file a complaint. As of this moment, no complaint has been sent to me. By law, the NCAA does not take up cases unless there is a complaint.
2. The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, @fkeyamo, is already handling this case. The NCAA will not breach protocol.
3. The NCAA has not made any statement, official or not, on this matter.
Link to the event I anchored yesterday is in the comments section.
I declared the programme open and left Mrs Ikwo Uloh to sit in for me while I rushed to meet with the fanily of a passenger who died on board an aircraft on a flight from Nigeria to Canada.
I only became aware of this case from X, and then reports from my consumer protection officers at the terminals, much later.
opalu: This FG no dey shame? Why would you sue a woman who complained of sexual assault? Atleast the FG shouldn't be seen to be unfair. Because Las las majority of Nigerians will see this Government in a bad light for this singular action
Go school, u no gree go., now see what you are spewing in public
back2sender: This is just the reason why we are treated as shits when we go for visa purposes in embassies. Genuine people are denied cases while this crooks keeps getting visas I had an experience with one yesterday sef, my documents was not asked for or drilled.just deny with a preinformation booklet and I have a genuine and legal reason for my journey. All the requirements I get am yanfu yanfu For me it's painful been assessed and judged wrongly without given a chance to explain or defend oneself
When I saw the pictures of the dane guns in the earlier thread I just knew innocent hunters have been unjustly mobbed to death.... May Almighty God rest their souls and justice be served
bdon12: I believe akpabio is guilty bt i dont agree on stepping down.Bt at least a committee should be setup to look into d matter not instead punishing d accuser
You believe Akpabio is guilty, cos she said so? She was punished for flouting the Senate rules not the accusations.
She resubmitted her accusation and I believe it will be looked into but her suspension was based on her flouting the rules
Perfect question, to all those calling on Akpabio to step-down, imagine Reno was a Chief executive and he stepped down after Natasha accused him, but later was found to be innocent.... what would have happend?
Natasha is a liar and serial blackmailer. Only gullible people support her with their agenda
segun18: It may be very painful for you to admit but she is indeed a very beautiful ,bold and courageous woman.I have followed her political journey from over 3 years ago when she escaped several assassination attempts by Yahya Bello and his henchmen in Kogi state.You may not like her but she is a fearless woman.However,I agree with that she should have handle the seating arrangement issue better but only God knows what made her cry out against Akpabio as per the sexual harassment issue.It a case of my word against your word matter.
Did you also follow her history of falsely accusing men of harassment?
Just imagine what dis one is saying.... is Natasha the most beautiful public figure in Nigeria’s history?
Amina Mohammed of UN is far more beautiful, Bianca Ojukwu, and a whole lot of them. But this particular seductress cum serial blackmailer is making headlines after a failed agenda on Akpabio
IBB’S CONFESSION: A NEEDLESS REVELATION THAT DIMINISHES HIS LEGACY By Sufyan Lawal Kabo
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has completely lost the long-standing respect I once had for him. His recent confession regarding the annulment of the June 12, 1993, election raises more questions than answers and, in my view, does little to rehabilitate his image. Here’s why:
1. A Pointless Confession at the Wrong Time What purpose does his admission serve at this critical moment in Nigeria’s history? The country is grappling with its worst economic crisis in decades, and Nigerians are more concerned with survival than rehashing past wounds. The nation has endured enough—from the civil war to years of misgovernance by corrupt leaders. This revelation adds no value to our present challenges.
2. A Betrayal of a Trusted Ally IBB's claim that Abacha was responsible for the annulment reeks of betrayal. This was the same Abacha who, by IBB’s own admission, saved his life multiple times and prevented his government from being overthrown. Has he considered how Abacha’s family would feel about this posthumous blame? Integrity demands consistency, but this sudden shift in narrative paints IBB as someone willing to rewrite history to suit personal convenience.
3. A Tarnished Image of Leadership With this confession, IBB has drastically reduced himself in the eyes of many who once held him in high regard, like my humble self. His statement now suggests that, much like Tunde Idiagbon was to Buhari, Abacha was the real mastermind and enforcer behind many of IBB’s major decisions. This revelation diminishes his perceived political acumen and makes one question whether he was truly in control of his own government.
4. A Misguided Use of Wealth and Influence Instead of using his influence for meaningful development, IBB accepted a ₦10 billion donation to build a private library, benefiting only a select few. This is particularly painful considering that the northern region, including his home state of Niger, suffers from a staggering number of out-of-school children, poor healthcare facilities, and lack of basic infrastructure. Imagine the impact if those billions were used to build boreholes, improve schools, or provide healthcare for the masses. If he had chosen to invest in these critical areas, he might have regained some respect.
In the end, IBB’s confession does not rewrite history in his favor. Instead, it exposes the contradictions in his leadership, weakens his legacy, and reminds Nigerians why the country remains stuck in a cycle of failed governance.
The full video of the altercation between Senator Natasha Akpoti and the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio revealed Senator Natasha refused the change of seat as directed by the President of the Senate, following the Senate rules.
Many netizens rushed online blaming Senator Akpabio but having seen the full video and realised what truly transpired, Senator Natasha is now at the receiving end of the blame.
