Nigeria’s immediate former aviation minister, Hadi Sirika, on Sunday, accused the former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji (PDP, Enugu), of demanding five per cent shares of the national carrier from him.
Mr Sirika made this known while speaking on an Arise Television programme on Sunday.
“He (Honourable Nnaji) asked me that I should give him 5 per cent of Nigeria Air to carry him along with his people,” he said.
“I said to him at that time, Honourable, a bidding process has taken place, and some people won. So, I think you should go to those people and ask for the 5 per cent.”
The former aviation minister’s comments came less than a week after the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation alleged fraud in the unveiling of Nigeria Air and demanded the prosecution of Mr Sirika and all those associated with the “controversial” unveiling of the airline.
