A MAJOR disaster was averted yesterday in Bauchi when the aircraft carrying Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) presidential candidate’s running-mate, Mr. Fola Adeola, and other chieftains crash-landed at the Bauchi airstrip.
The ACN said it suspected sabotage and called for a probe of the incident.
The presidential candidate, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu, who were on another aircraft, were kept in the air for about an hour due to the non-clearance of the runway, which had been taken over by goats and rams.
The ACN leaders stormed Bauchi in two aircraft for a rally.
The one conveying Adeola, the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Boss Mustapha and a former National Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Alhaji Yusuf Ali, a Hawker Siddeley (HS) 125, crash-landed.
But the other with Tinubu, Ribadu and other party chieftains hovered in the air for about an hour due to the non-clearance of the runway.
Although the development caused panic among thousands of ACN supporters that thronged the airstrip, the party leaders went ahead with the rally.

Now, Team Ribadu smells fowl play in this whole sheepy affair or, maybe, they are plain simply crying wolf. Some people would think it a cock and bull story (Are we at the Animal Farm???). I am trying to work out how PDP magic has been able to conscript a bunch of grass-chumping goat and sheep to bring Ribadu down to earth. What do you think?

What I think is that, they should blame it on the goat, on the aircraft and on the bauchi airstrip.
