The Mmanagement of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, Benin Airport Branch, yesterday, apologised to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State over the recent incident at the Benin Airport where his chartered helicopter was stopped from flying.
This came as the governor Oshiomhole vowed to go to court and challenge any authority which sought to infringe on his fundamental human rights if his right to movement from one place to another within the country was violated again.
Speaking when the management of NAMA , Benin Airport Branch, paid him a visit to apologise, the governor who said he had direct contact with President Goodluck Jonathan following the incident, added: “I’m convinced that he (President) didn’t give those orders that I should be stopped. The next time I’m so interrupted, I will not hesitate to go to court and challenge the infringement on my fundamental right to movement. We need to strengthen our democracy.”
He advised the airport authorities to shun partisan politics and insist on professionalism, saying that “it will be a sad day if the management of a sensitive institution that has to do with air safety joins the club of politicians and political actors.”
