News Reaching ♍ƺ from a realable source on N.G.F Crisis: Is that FG has grounds aircraft flying Governor Oshiomhole to Awka. The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency on Friday grounded a chartered helicopter conveying Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, from Benin, the state capital, to Awka, the Anambra State capital. Critics of the federal government see the development as a continuation of the onslaught against state governors who opposed President Goodluck Jonathan’s anointed candidate for the chairmanship of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. It is learnt that the OAS Helicopter, which was flying Mr. Oshiomhole from Benin City to Awka for the funeral of late Colette Obi, wife of Ben Obi, a presidential adviser on political matters, was already airborne before authorities recalled it. Comrade Oshiomhole played a lead role in the defeat of Governor Jonah Jang, the presidency’s anointed candidate in the recent chairmanship election of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. Already, the winner of that election, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, has been suspended from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party for daring to present himself for the election despite the opposition from his party. The aircraft owned by Mr. Amaechi’s state has also been grounded by Nigerian aviation authorities. Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto, suspected to have voted for Mr. Amaechi, has also been suspended from the party. -Na Wa Ooo.{PREMIUM TIMES}
