PDP member Daniel Bwala has used the airplane analogy to explain why, despite belonging to the opposition party, he is rooting for President Tinubu’s administration to succeed. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
In an interview with TVC, Bwala said he had never experienced a situation in an airplane where all passengers were praying for the plane to crash. He likened the country to an airplane, with citizens as passengers, the president and vice president as pilots, and ministers and government agencies as cabin crew officials. He emphasized that once the “plane” (country) has taken off and is above sea level, everyone’s primary concern should be the safe landing of the plane. He implied that regardless of political affiliations or disagreements during the journey (governing period), it is in the collective interest of all citizens for the country to ‘land’ safely. He acknowledged that criticisms and complaints about the government’s performance are valid, but the ultimate goal is the well-being of the nation, akin to passengers on a flight hoping for a safe arrival rather than a crash.
In Bwala’s words: “I gave an analogy of a plane that the plane is the country and citizens are in the plane, the pilot and the co-pilot is the president and the vice president and cabin crew officials are ministers and agencies of the government. Once it has taken off and is above sea level, everybody’s prayer must be the safe landing of the plane. When the plane finally lands, you can complain about the pilot’s skill. You can even complain in mid-air that the way he is navigating around turbulence you are not comfortable. I have never been in an airplane where the passengers are praying for the plane to crash”.
