“Two passengers, two rules” – Oby Ezekwesili speaks on recent aviation incidents
Former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, addressed recent aviation incidents in Nigeria, highlighting deep inequality and institutional decay. She pointed out the contrasting treatment of two air passengers, where a politically connected man faced a soft flight ban for obstructing a taxiing aircraft, while a young woman was removed from a plane, stripped naked, and sent to prison within a day.
Ezekwesili criticized the brazen double standard in law enforcement and called for the woman's immediate release. She emphasized that this incident is a symbol of the daily indignities faced by millions of Nigerians in a broken system that defends the oppressor.
Ezekwesili urged for a unified response from Nigerians to confront such injustices and demand equal treatment under the law.
