Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, said Nigerians were entitled to demand answers from the APC-led government over rising living costs, poverty, insecurity and questions surrounding public expenditure.

  Max Air aircraft lose tyres during take-off roll


A Max Air aircraft departing Yola airport for Abuja yesterday evening suffered a tyre burst during take-off.


Max Air’s flight number NGL1649, a Boeing 737 with registration mark 5N-ADB, reportedly carried 119 passengers and six crew members on board.

ACCORDING TO ANOTHER SOURCE:

Max Air flight grounded as four tyres burst during takeoff


The Max Air aircraft carrying 119 passengers and six crew members, was cleared for takeoff before its first rear gear tyres burst, while the remaining two also went the way of the initial one while attempting to taxi off the aircraft from the runway.


This was contained in a statement made available to PUNCH Online by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau, Bimbo Oladeji, at 11:22 pm on Sunday.


Olajide, however, added that no death nor injury was recorded from the development.


The statement read, “This evening, Max Air’s flight NGL1649, a Boeing 737 with registration 5N-ADB, carrying 119 passengers and six crew members, was cleared for takeoff from Yola Airport en route to Abuja.


“During the takeoff roll, a loud bang was heard, identified as the bursting of the rear gear tyres. Initially, two tyres burst. While attempting to taxi off the runway, the remaining two tyres also burst, rendering the aircraft completely disabled.


“Fortunately, no injuries were reported. A go-team, led by NSIB Director General Captain Alex Badeh Jr., will visit the incident site tomorrow morning to conduct an investigation.”


Similarly in 2023, a report by the NSIB indicted the airline of overwriting the Cockpit Voice Recorder of the serious incident which occurred on May 7, 2023, on landing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.


The report also accused the airline of feigning ignorance of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority’s All Operators Letter (NCAA/FSG/AOL/19/03) in respect of continuous overwriting of CVR information.


This was after an aircraft belonging to the same airline departed Abuja for Yola as NGL1648.


The NSIB report said that the aircraft was on the ground in Yola for about 30 minutes before the turnaround for Abuja.


It was, however, gathered that after takeoff, the landing gear was left extended for three minutes to allow cooling due to the high temperature on the ground in Yola Airport,


but at 2:08 p.m., Nigerian Air Force personnel from the Air Force Hangar close to runway 35, reported to Yola Control Tower that an object “appearing like a tyre fell off from the departing NGL1649.”
