President Bola Tinubu has expressed shock over the plane crash involving Air India, which claimed many lives.

Tinubu expressed heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government and people of the Republic of India following the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 near Ahmedabad.

Recall that the plane had on board two pilots, 10 cabin crew, 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian.

Tinubu in the condolence message conveyed through his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident.

He also offered prayers for the families of the victims, the injured, and the entire Indian nation during what he described as moment of grief.

He also commiserated with the leaders of Great Britain, Portugal, and Canada over losing their nationals on the ill-fated flight.

“The tragedy of Air India reminds us, once again, of the fragility of life and the common bond of humanity that holds us together.

“At this moment of sorrow and pain, Nigeria stands in solidarity with our friend, brother and partner, Narendra Modi, and the people of India. Nigeria also deeply sympathises with the families and friends of other victims on board the aircraft,” President Tinubu stated.

He lauded the swift response of the emergency agencies in India and expressed his confidence in their capacity and compassion to make a difference in the complicated situation.

Tinubu closed the condolence with prayers that the Almighty God receive the souls of the departed and comfort their families.

The 2023 Lagos State Governorship Candidate under the platform of the Labour Party, LP, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has slammed President Bola Tinubu over what he described as the hasty commissioning of the coastal road that is barely 5 per cent done.

Ekwutosblog reports that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is a 700-kilometre project that is expected to take off from Lagos Island to Calabar in Cross River State.

In a statement on his X handle on Thursday, Rhodes-Vivour, said it was not possible to commission a project that is less than 5 per cent and still gloat over it as having done anything spectacular.

“Not only is it shameful to roll out the drums to commission less than 5% of a project, they still had to lie and spew propaganda on the so-called 30km.

“This is the same way the minister of finance went abroad to reel out fake data only to be checkmated by data from the CBN days after. So embarrassing.

“While insecurity is on the rise, they are shamelessly promoting the ‘genius’ of the NSA.

“The harsh truth is that a party fixated on politics and propaganda cannot govern effectively. That is why Nigerians are much poorer today than they were less than a decade ago,” he said.
