The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency on Friday grounded a chartered
helicopter conveying Edo State Government, Adams Oshiomhole, from Benin,
the state capital, to Awka, the Anambra State capital.
Critics of the federal government see the development as a continuation of the
onslaught against state governors who opposed President Goodluck Jonathan’s
anointed candidate for the chairmanship of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. The
OAS Helicopter, which was flying Mr. Oshiomhole from Benin City
to Awka for the funeral of late Colette Obi, wife of Ben Obi, a presidential
adviser on political matters, was already airborne before authorities recalled it.
