The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria has called on Nigerians not to politicise the crash of the Associated Airlines plane, which occurred in Lagos on Thursday last week.
FAAN, in a statement on Wednesday, said rather than attack government and its parastatals over the crash, eminent Nigerians, especially the politicians, should offer constructive support on how the
issues could be addressed.
The General Manager, Corporate Communications FAAN, Mr. Yakubu Dati, who made the call, said political leaders in other parts of the world did not use such situation to discredit the government in power.
He added that instead, such people identified with government and gave their support to find ways to bring positive changes.
He observed in the statement that since the unfortunate crash of the 120 Embraer aircraft, on a charter flight to Akure, opposition leaders had thrown caution to the wind to exploit the sad incident for political gains.
He said, “Perhaps, it is important to look at the most recent case of tragedy in Kenya, East-Africa. Recently, when Kenya was faced with one of the worst hostage crises the country had ever seen, the fervour towards unity and the patriotism exhibited by Kenyans was one never seen before.
“At periods of great trials, statesmen stand out; it is high time we learnt from Kenya.”
