Governor Peter Ayo Fayose of Ekiti 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 for 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 they would now be transported to Abuja. The Airlines Operators of Nigeria has rejected the government’s plan, insisting there are 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 disqualifies 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://www.titopeblog.com/2017/01/diversion-of-flights-fayose-knocks-fg.html |

olajay86:Fayose is getting better as opposition leader by the day. He didn't only highlight the inherent dangers of using Kaduna as alternate airport @ the moment, he also proferred clues on what should've been done and/or be done by the clueless president from Daura. Well spoken, Asiwaju Peter Ayodele Fayose. Never mind zombies whose ears are deaf to voice of reasoning and who get so disturbed hearing the name Fayose. They'd rather "kill and maim" on social media for a man who cares less whether they survive his harsh economic policies and bad governance or not. Some of such are already up here and am sure other internet soldiers of his will attack me below. Sorry, I'm out of here. Continue defending a bad market. Femi Adesina I understand, Garba Sheu I understand. The duo smile to bank all the time and enjoy the luxuries of the state house with their families. They get paid anyway even if they have to lie against their conscience. How about you? You get paid through hunger, unfulfilled promises, fuelling cars and generators @ exorbitant price, forego international engagements since dollar has become exclusive right of the politicians etc. May the descendants of zombies never curse the days of their zombie parents for mortgaging their future when they ought to wail for a true and positive change in Nigeria. 6 Likes 1 Share |

emmasege:I said this before. Nigerians are beginning to make sense of Fayose's position. As many as possible should please avoid the Abuja-Kaduna expressway during this six weeks. Life has no duplicate. I hope this closure does not go beyond six weeks. A word is enough for the wise. 3 Likes |

emmasege:i was actually waiting for post like this. FYI d airport in question is situated in a secure environment in kaduna.very close to Nigeria defence academy, also Nigeria Airforce base is loacted aroun their too.and d area is not known to be violent compare to d rest.ask everybody living in kd. d road leading to d airport is even beta than d best road in ekiti capital. most of d violence in kd happen in d remote areas of southern kaduna. Fayose always looking for opportunity to critise buhari.ia not sure he has has been to that airport before or hes jus bein mischevious and usimg likeminds to achieve his evil agenda by instilling fears in d hearts of travellers.and as for u except u have been to kaduna airport pls dnt support blindly all in d name of opposition.list i forget kaduna abuja road stil remains one of d best federal roads compared to d death traps u find in eastern roads and using a federsl minister's death to suport his argument shows how insensible fayose is.tnk u |

What has this Fayose descended into? He has reduced governance to the level of "bole kaja" and thankfully, his admirers are not from Ekiti or anywhere in the South West, Fayose is twice guilty of whichever atrocity, ineptitudeness and maladministratration he daily accuse Buhari of, he knows he won't see out his tenure of office, so the only option open is to cause altercation with the federal government, turn around to play the victim card, but the game is up for him. |

project8: If the rehabilitation can be done in sections like the airlines had suggested, why the total shut down?.. MM1.. the busiest airport in Nigeria was rehabilitated in sections... talk more abuja... Why take me all the way to kaduna, when we could withstand hot airports of MM1, crowded MM1, harassments by officials at MM1, one had the guts to ask me for $100 bribe (does he know what $100 is today).. a lot of foreigners are scared of any city asides lagos/abuja... they would only stop business transaction till whenever, the country looses revenue and lots more. Fayose made a good point Ask your self, as an hausa, are you skeptical of coming down east? As an igbo, are you skeptical of going up north? As a yoruba are you skeptical of going both east/north? 1 Like |

Instead of some mumu on this thread to say why he is wrong they are busy talking the way their fathers did when they were youth. What foreigner will be happy to land at Kaduna with all the bad news?. |
