WARRI- THE Niger Delta for Peace, Credible and
Visionary Leadership, NDPCVL, rose in robust
defence of embattled Minister of Aviation, Princess
Stella Oduah, saying, she should be left alone.
NDPCVL in a press statement by its national
president, Mr. King-jerry Prebor, 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 air crafts above 30 years
from date of manufacture. It is an open secret that
the air crafts 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 asserted, “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.
According to him, “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.
