Corruption in aviation sector caused the plane crash – Buhari, CPC

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and its Presidential Candidate in the last 2011 general elections, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), have attributed the last Sunday Dana aircraft crash to the high level of corruption ravaging the nation. The Party who expressed shocked over the incident which claimed the lives of 153 passengers, also called for probe over the untimely death of the victims. Buhari personally said the corruption in the Aviation sector was the major reasons why planes crashed in the country. The former Military Head of State noted that “two former Ministers of Aviation are undergoing prosecution for corruption. “This pervasive corruption by the successive PDP-led Federal Government, as regards administration of the aviation sector, have corrupted this important sector of the nation state that industry’s best practices are often circumvented at will by the airline operators. The result of these infractions is what we witness with Air disasters!” According to a statement in Abuja by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Fashakin, said “But we doubt the sincerity of the PDP-led Federal Government in unearthing the real causes of these disasters.” Fashakin said the weak handling of the probes will never get the country to develop positively.
