'The real issue about Sirika hadisirika was that he was close to the President (MBuhari) and therefore could act with impunity, fail in his assignment and remain in power, while running the ministry as a personal fiefdom.' -- JibrinIbrahim17
The real issue about Sirika was that he was close to the President and therefore could act with impunity, fail in his assignment and remain in power, while running the ministry as a personal fiefdom.
It would be recalled that in September 2018, Hadi Sirika’s Nigeria Air project was suspended by the Federal Executive Council , dashing the hopes of many Nigerians who would have loved to see a national air carrier that we could proudly call our own ferry us around the world, while we make a lot of money in the process, as British Airways, Emirates, Air France etc. are making out of our resources.
Part of the problem was that the same Minister Hadi Sirika had refused to inaugurate all the governing boards of the parastatals in the aviation sector, despite repeated admonishment from the President, the APC party chairman and the Central Working Committee of the ruling party. He, therefore, single-handedly ran the entire aviation sector. This meant that he was all powerful and it pleased him that he was the master.
