Thank God for his life. We do not want any
crisis in Nigeria. May God continue to protect
us all.
President Goodluck Jonathan and
some top government

air mishap at the Minna
Airport, Niger State, when a presidential
jet developed
a technical fault, while they were aboard.

The presidential jet, Nigerian Air
Force 001 (5N-FGT),
had earlier conveyed Jonathan to
Minna for the -Peoples
Democratic Party's North-Central
rally which held
at the Trade Fair Centre, Minna.
At the end of the rally, the President
returned to the
airport in company with top
government officials,
PDP state governors and party chiefs
for a trip to
Sokoto, from where he was scheduled
to return to Abuja.
However, several minutes after
Jonathan had bade
farewell to those who accompanied
him to the airport,
and the door of the aircraft was shut,
the aircraft failed to move.

However, several minutes after

and the door of the aircraft was shut,
the aircraft failed to move.
After many attempts, crew
members and engineers
disembarked from the aircraft and
made spirited efforts
to fix the fault as armed security
men took strategic
positions around it.
While this was going on,
Vice-President Namadi
Sambo; President of the Senate,
David Mark; all
PDP governors, members of the
National Assembly
and members of the Federal
Executive Council were
watching under the scorching sun.
When it became obvious that the fault
could not be easily
fixed, the commander of the Presidential
Air Fleet, Air Vice Marshal
Uko Ebong, ordered that a smaller
presidential jet, 5N-FGW,
which conveyed the Vice-President to
the state be brought to fly Jonathan.

Jonathan disembarked from the faulty
jet at about 3.30pm and
quickly moved to the smaller aircraft.
He later left the airport in the smaller
aircraft at about
3:35pm, leaving behind some of his
co-occupants in the bigger jet.
Sambo also had to join Mark in another
smaller presidential jet,
5N-FGV, which had earlier conveyed the
Senate President to the state.
Senator Barnabas Gemade and a few
other dignitaries also joined them.
Those who were with the President in
the faulty aircraft before
they disembarked included the
National Chairman of the PDP,
Adamu Muazu; Chairman of the party's
Board of Trustees,
Tony Anenih; former chairman of the party,
Ahmadu Ali; former
Sokoto State Governor,
Attahiru Bafarawa,
and some presidential aides.
Some security men were left behind to
keep watch on the aircraft.
When asked for what was wrong with the aeroplane, an official
of FAAN simply said, "The return engine refused to pick."
