Tinubu
Frontline Yoruba leader and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has cancelled a grand reception planned in his honour at the Onikan Stadium, Lagos, today, in sympathy with the families of the Thursday’s Associated Airline crash.
The former Lagos State governor who has been away to the United States for a knee surgery will return to the country today after a successful surgical operation.
Tinubu however expressed shock and deep sorrow at the double tragedy that befell Agagu’s family and the entire Ondo State.
Tinubu, according to a statement by Funso Ologunde of the Lagos State APC reception committee, would however address a press conference on the state of the nation at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, on arrival.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued by APC on Friday, the party said the incident, coming about 15 months after the air disaster involving Dana Airline, has shown that in spite of the progress so far made in ensuring that the country’s airspace is safe for the travelling public, the government must not relent until total success has been achieved.
“It is the responsibility of the government to make our airspace safe, and all those involved, especially the regulatory agencies, must not relent until that safety has been achieved. This is the best way to immortalize all those who have lost their lives in avoidable plane crashes over the years,’’ the party said.
