PDP Exposes ‘Dark Sides’ Of Buhari’s Nigeria Air Project

The leadership of the main opposition party in Nigeria, PDP has frowned at the national carrier project which was unveiled in the United Kingdom recently.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari should

“perish the thought of trying to use the unveiling of a nonexistent national carrier to beguile Nigerians now that election is around the corner”

PDP claimed that the new national carrier was a plot by the Buhari’s Presidency to allegedly siphon billions of naira.

The party said it was unfortunate that “having run out of fake promises and not having any development project to parade,” Buhari and his party, All Progressives Congress, APC, have “now resorted to international kite-flying aimed at hoodwinking unsuspecting Nigerians.”

In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party said.

“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.”
