The Niger Delta for Peace, Credible and Visionary Leadership (NDPCVL), a Niger Delta group, has called on the House of Representatives to abandon the probe into Aviation minister, Stella Oduah, and busy itself with more pressing issues of governance.
In a press statement by its national president, Mr. King-jerry Prebor, the group said, “She is the best thing that had happened in the aviation industry in regards to new looks, renovation, equipment, trainings of staff, among other things in our airports.”
“The House of Representatives should be concerned with laws that will better the lives of the people, such as the ban of aircrafts above 30 years from date of manufacture. It is an open secret that the aircrafts bought and used by our air line operators are far above 30years.
“The death rates are as a result of old age of the planes brought into the country. Why are the lawmakers looking at only one side when it is obvious that the neck will ache? It is their failure that has cost the nation millions of lives, they failed to move a motion to save the lives lost, but instead are shouting about cars bought by NCAA, not even for the minister’s personal use,” he said.
Prebor added, “It is true that the Central bank Governor Malam Sanusi and the former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili raised an alarm that law makers will shut down the country, why did they not raise a motion to look into that.
“The motion moved by Hon. Samson Osagie, seconded by Hon. Shehu Gusau of APC failed to include why our refineries are not working, casualization of workers in the oil industry with peanut as salary, ASUU strike, low salaries for the military, police and civil servants.
“We, the NDPCVL are watching with keen interest the activities of the lawmakers; we urge them to live up to expectation as it will not be business as usual. They should make enabling laws to force air line operators to buy brand new air-crafts to make the air space save for air users,” he said.
“The major problem affecting the aviation sector is too many unnecessary interference, the ministers in the various ministries should be allowed to take charge absolutely and that that will bring productivity,” he added.
What kind of bogus comments are these? This group is obviously paid for by this illiterate and useless Minister. Renovations at the airports? Are you serious? Plastic plants in Abuja and a new and improved business class lounge that make most international visitors shake their collective heads in disgust. If she is the best thing that has happened to the Ministry of Aviation, the country is doomed. She is an oil bunkerer-turned Government officials as so many others are these days. She needs to go back to the creeks where her clown makeup doesn’t look so out of place.
