The Senate on Tuesday vowed to investigate recent airline-passenger incidents in the nation’s aviation sector.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Aviation, Senator Buhari Abdulfatai disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.

Abdulfatai expressed serious concern over recent high-profile airline–passenger incidents that have raised questions about operational standards, passenger rights, and the overall discipline within Nigeria’s aviation sector.

There have been incidents involving Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1 and Value Jet Airline as well as Comfort Emmanson and Ibom Airline.

Speaking on the incidents, Senator Abdulfatai emphasised that these developments demand immediate and coordinated action to protect the integrity of the sector and restore public confidence.


“In the exercise of its constitutional powers, the Committee will be engaging key regulatory bodies, operators, security agencies, and public interest groups to establish the facts, review existing procedures, and ensure that any necessary corrective measures are swiftly implemented.

“We will not allow procedural gaps or lapses in enforcement to undermine safety, professionalism, or public trust in our aviation system.

“The Senate Committee on Aviation will ensure accountability at all levels,” Senator Abdulfatai said.

The Committee assured Nigerians that it is maintaining active oversight and will drive the process toward enforceable solutions that prevent a recurrence of such incidents.

Jargons as usual.
If my children are winning, yes of course I will celebrate them when they come back home. I be celebrating them at home, when I know fully well my home is burning down fast.

I have nothing against them winning or celebrating them. I'm against the sudden and unnecessary show off, when they are 10s of thousands who worked so hard more than the falcons and tigress for good 35 years of their lives and still counting, yet they can't even pay them a dime.

But wait o, one guy was jailed sometime ago for doing a transaction in dollars inside Nigeria, how come a whole President, Tinubu is abandoning Naira for Dollar gifts. 🤔

givedemwotowoto:
The margin with which Tinubu will lose 2027, no sitting President in modern history has witnessed that level of humiliating defeat.

Tinubu himself knows, and his party members are already inserting caveats like “unless he chooses not to contest” to give him heads up and subtly advise him not to contest.

Saao:
Why the focus is on only obi? What about Atiku and others?

OceanEye:
I am serious buddy. Maybe it's because I had a bad weekend. I am just getting better now.

So, can I still keep my adopted name?

OceanEye:
I thought Moroccans won that march, after witnessing 0:2, I never bothered to check result again until I saw this news. Wow!

APC can have Lagos but ADC will have the entire country in 2027 presidential elections

AMINDA:
Buhari’s 12m followers were ready to pay to vote him in 2015. If anybody spent any money on Buhari, it was to cover up for their own lapses in delivering their own side of the bargain because they lack the strength of character.

Gotocourt:
You gonna lose 2027, you gonna luurnnn the hard way

Putindbutt:
Lol, una get mind o, una dey protest against Buhari. It has come to stay, better get used to it. The President also renamed Jos to Yakubu Gowon University, Some few noisemakers were protesting it but now they have kept quiet. Muhammadu Buhari University has also come to stay.

Kelklein:
So it's OK to simply do impositions because one man wants to redeem himself.. what about freedom of choice by the electorates to elect their leaders across party lines. I don't have any issue with how a political party choose their own candidates to represent them but when you impose that your candidate on everyone else because you control State instruments, that's no longer election nor grassroot.

franchasofficia:
This one is still stuck in the 1970s political permutations, will I blame him? No! Because he is of the old era and so he lacks the indepth knowledge of the new era politics of today.


Atiku has already been adopted as next Northern political Messiah after Buhari.


Atiku-Obi will defeat Tinubu hands down.

Obi-El Rufai can still work but 2027 Presidential election is not just about winning at the polling units, it's beyond that, after people have voted for you to win, can you defend and protect their votes against an incumbent President's rigging mercenaries until the results are announced? That is where I have issue with Obi being the flag bearer of the coalition ticket.


Peter Obi that I know is a man of peace and obeys rule of law to the core, his Obidient Movement supporters are enlightened youths who just want positive change in Nigeria's leadership and most of us are fully engaged/employed, we don't have time for physical street fight and thug war, Igbos another Peter Obi's support base are too refined, enlightened and republican in nature to engage in street fight or confrontation to protect Peter Obi's electoral victory at the polling units, that was the same reason Obi got rigged out in 2023; nobody to fight and defend his victory, so the incumbent government via INEC then helped Tinubu to carry the day, and Supreme Court upheld the electoral robbery.


If Peter Obi fly the coalition ticket, the same thing will happen because Northerners that have the street OT to defend their preferred candidate's votes won't put body since Peter Obi isn't from the North, the will be neutral expecting Igbos to lead the revolt should Tinubu attempt to rig the results.


But if Atiku flies the coalition ticket with Obi as running mate, it is game over for Bola Tinubu and APC and everybody including Tinubu knows this and that is what they will work so hard to ensure it doesn't happen by using different media publications and newspaper headlines like this to confuse Peter Obi not to deputize Atiku, Obi and Obidient Movement must not allow Tinubu and his political mercenaries to succeed. Swallow your pride, work with Atiku and let's unseat Tinubu first. I trust Atiku more than any other Nigerian politician after Peter Obi, Atiku won't be as horrible as the incumbent President now.

MartinCorridon:
Atiku had 2023 ... all advantages to his side and still managed to mess up his chances.

2027, the opposition is in worse disarray and you expect him to win ?

Nigerians should be praying for the country to improve no matter the leader... but unless God removes Tinubu, no Nigerian politician can.

How do you even calm a process where one party won 56 out of 56 positions an election..

Let's be guided pls.

nwirinedu:
Is Ibadan and Ogun located in the southern part of Nigeria?

Are they not just neihgboring states to Lagos, 30minutes or less of driving by road? Try to leave the house sometimes and travel to other regions of the country.

Dont spend your entire 70 years in Lagos.

nwirinedu:
South Africa is a long way ahead of Nigeria, their railways rn across the country, we dont have that in Nigeria.

There are no railway tracks linking Lagos with the South or eastern part of the country, all tracks run from the North only, there is no point setting up a railway service if the Ikorodu to Island track is the only route available.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan: The Senator Who Thinks She’s a Street Protester in a Power Suit

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is proving—yet again—that political confusion can be weaponized into national comedy. Her recent drama over resumption to the Senate reeks not of principle, but of a woman trapped between a megaphone and a microphone, unsure whether to chant slogans or draft laws.

This is not Nollywood, madam. It is the Red Chamber—where legislation, not theatrical activism, is expected.
Like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in his first coming as Emir of Kano, Natasha confuses institutional decorum with street defiance. Sanusi thought a royal stool was a TED Talk platform; Natasha now believes the Senate is a protest stage. Sanusi was rightly removed for crossing lines. Natasha may not be removed, but she’s quickly becoming irrelevant by her own hand.
She flaunts streetlights and smart markets like a local government chairperson hawking boreholes. But this is the Senate—not a constituency NGO project fair.
Worse still is the self-importance. To suggest that barring her from the chambers “denies women and children representation” is laughable. No, madam—you are not Mother Nigeria. You’re a senator, not a messiah.
Senators craft laws, build alliances, and shape national discourse. They are not Instagram influencers chasing photo ops with gold bills and laptops. Your job is not to hug the headlines—it is to earn respect inside the chamber, not shout from outside.
So here’s some advice: drop the drama, pick up a briefing note. The Senate is not a stage for your perpetual rebellion. It is an institution. If you can’t learn the difference, then perhaps activism, not legislation, is your true calling.
And please—spare us the martyr complex. You're not being silenced. You're just being... politically noisy. And increasingly ineffective.
