Bashir Ahmad, Digital Communications Assistant to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been receiving much bashing and mockery on Twitter X for complaining about Air Peace delaying a flight he boarded from Kano to Lagos.
He was especially queried about the bogus Nigeria that Buhari and former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, floated but which the Bola Ahmed Tinubu has scrapped as a fraud.
Ahmaad had tweeted: “We really don’t have a reliable airline in Nigeria. My @flyairpeace flight to Kano, which was scheduled to depart at 6:05 pm tomorrow, was first rescheduled to 7:25 pm and then again to 9:25 pm. I hope the following message will not be that we regret to inform you that my flight to Kano has been cancelled.🇳🇬INEC TECHNICAL GLITCHES.”
Responding to the Ahmad’s lamentations, @OkeyKingsman tweeted: “What happened to our Nigerian air.”
Hilal @Hilaluddeen tweeted: “We need to understand that airlines are better off operating according to their schedules than disrupting their schedules. In this weather, there are bound to be flight disruptions due to bad weather and safety concerns. Just hit the road.”

We should be talking of providing vouchers or compensation as this might serve as a deterrent to the erring airlines. I got a full fare voucher from @easyJet for flight delay above 3hrs.”
Toluwanimi @Tohluwanimi tweeted: “I can’t bliv u can come online to say dis to an airplane dat trying its best for its pple, they should av flown dat plane and you will see what will happen. Dey said operational problems. Even transport in the country y’all run to cancel sumtin like this without informing anyone.
