Fani-Kayode defends Obasanjo over Nigeria Airways liquidation

Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has defended former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the liquidation of Nigeria Airways in 2004. Fani-Kayode argued that the airline's collapse was a result of years of mismanagement, corruption, and mounting debts before Obasanjo returned to power in 1999. He stated that Obasanjo inherited a virtually collapsed airline and had little choice but to liquidate it in 2004.
