A former Minister of Education,
Dr. Oby Ezekwesili has come under attack on social media by Nigerians after she
described the National Air carrier project embarked upon by President Muhammadu
Buhari’s Government as a waste.
Ezekwesili said this on her
verified Twitter page on Thursday, stating that the Airline must fail for the
sake of poor Nigerians.
However, reacting, some Nigerians
took to their Twitter page condemning the minister, describing her statement as
unpatriotic owing to her hatred for President Buhari.
Recalling her administration as a
former minister, Nigerians said Ezekwesili had no right to complain of Buhari’s
failure to eradicate poverty as she also made no contribution in saving poor
citizens in the country.
Here are some comments:
@WisemanIzunna “Madam go and sit
down you and others are all the problem of this country so don’t play a saint
here, even though I don’t support Buhari, APC at least for once I will support
them for this giant stride taken.”
@Gran_LG “Poverty was there
when you were in government. What did you do to alleviate it than? And how do
we confront poverty, by creating ventures that will be creating jobs or
distributing the money to individuals? Cause you are just complaining of
Nigeria air that will provide employment?
@ComradeAbubakar “No, Ma’am,
Let’s not be so pessimistic about Nigeria Air. In these days of economic
downturn, Nigeria Air may turn out to be one of those opportunities, a kind of
silver lining we’re looking for Have you found out about the airline’s business
plans? Give them the benefit of doubt.”
@Ishaqbamidele “Madam, whatever
respect you have before has vanished with this your outburst of open hatred to
the country. It’s now clear you are one of those who wants his country to just
collapse just because of your hatred for Buhari. It’s a shame.”
@Oyebayos “With all due respect,
what do want to gain from your bitterness and hatred for Buhari. This is
clearly not in the interest of any Nigerian. Nigeria project is bigger than an
individual including PMB, pls learn some humility or become irrelevant
history.”
@Olatunyatobi “I disagree! The
fact remains that the poor will not cease! The project will even provide job
opportunities! “Federal government jobs”!
@Amairama “It’s a pity this is
coming from a woman of ezekwesili’s standing. You must not love PMB, but
wishing your country bad luck is totally uncouth.”
@Ayodejilara “Madam Obi, I
disagree with your submission on the ‘National Airline’. 1. FG has only 5%
stake in this venture. 2. This is purely private investors business. 3. Job
creation. and a lot of other benefits. FG is trying to rejig the economy from
different angles.”
@Sam23v1purpose “Madam Oby what
is your stress wen?It’s beta to bring development than corruption, what did you
do to the education sector as a minister? Go and rest before you rest yourself
in peace.”
@abiola387 “Stop ranting. The
government has a share of 5% with investors having the remaining 95%. Besides,
having a national Airline and reducing poverty aren’t mutually exclusive. Just
pure hate and your romantic relationship with OBJ is the problem here.”
@Akisal “Madam, this is
arrogance. You are still wrong, it won’t change. You don’t exemplify a good
leader. Issue yourself a red card too.”
@Bakare_klm “Beyond the issue of
pride, it has plenty of economic benefits to Nigerians who rely on foreign
airlines for their travelings. One of the mainstays of Kenyan and Ethiopian
economies apart from coffees is their thriving aviation industry which has
helped in boosting their GDP.”
@Phemmynice “Madam you don’t need
to explain urself, there’s poverty in Kenya & Philippine Yet they have a
National carrier, u call urself patriotic citizens but came out boldly &
pray for a national project to fail because you are not in good term with
Buhari is shocking well Nigerians won’t forget this!!
@Sakaabdulsalam “Deluded
EZEKWESILI. She is exposing her ignorance every day , very subjective &
deintellectualized.”
