The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari
and the Federal Government to perish the thought of trying to use the
‘unveiling’ of a nonexistent national carrier to beguile Nigerians now
that election is around the corner, as such ruse cannot yield any
dividend.
The party in a press release signed by it's National Publicirty Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan said it is unfortunate that, having run out
of fake promises and not having any development project to parade,
President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have now
resorted to international kite-flying aimed at hoodwinking unsuspecting
Nigerians.
Is it not comical that while other nations are
unveiling and rolling out real planes, the Buhari administration, in a
most hilarious manner, is ‘unveiling’ drawings of an airplane, name,
logo and imaginary routes of a nonexistent fleet, as our national
carrier, in faraway London?
What President Buhari and his handlers fail to understand is that Nigerians can see through their fraud and lies.
Apart from drawings of airplanes, there are no structures to indicate
that a new airline, billed to commence operation in December this year,
is being set up; there are no offices, no recruitment of personnel and
no form of ground activity anywhere in the country.
Does it not
smack of pure scam that less than six months to commence operations, the
supposed new airline has not even started the process of licensing,
even when it takes a minimum of six months for a new airline to obtain
Air Operating License and three months to develop its manuals?
Furthermore, every discerning mind can see through the lies in the
announced private sector funding, as the Buhari administration has been
unable to list any private investor it has gone into negotiation or
signed any form of deal with in the said project.
If the Buhari
administration is not on a fantasy trip to beguile Nigerians and pave
further ways for its humongous corruption, it should have focused on our
existing national carrier structures, in addition to three operating
airlines, already taken over by the Asset Management Corporation of
Nigeria (AMCON).
It is therefore clear that the entire project is
a huge scam and that the five percent government funding is a direct
ploy by the cabal at the Buhari Presidency to siphon billions of naira,
using a phantom project.
