…AS OBASANJO REACTS
The management of Ethiopian Airlines have condemned the
wrong reportage given to the incident that happened today at the Lagos airport involving
Ethiopian Flight (ET 901/29 MAY) wherein ex-President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and
others were reported to have escaped death.
According to a more authentic report, the management claims
that the Ethiopian Airline Flight (ET 901/29 MAY) which departed from Addis
Ababa on its way to Lagos, had encountered bad weather during landing and made
a go-around the airport for better and smooth landing, according to the
procedure.
On a second attempt, it made a safe and normal landing.
According to safety standard, pilots are encouraged to make a similar go-around
in such cases. However; some media incorrectly reported this standard safety
precautionary go-around.
Also lending credence to the recklessness in the initial
sensational reportage of the airline incident today, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is
said to have confirmed that he was not involved in any airline mishap whatsoever
today or in any recent time.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who spoke through his
spokesperson, Kehinde Akinyemi on BBC Yoruba, said Obasanjo had been in his
home in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and that the former president never traveled.
