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.”
It is a very big shame to PDP to have that thought in mind, instead of applauding the work done by the present administration,pdp are condemning project, what a shame on PDP
