IPOB Moves To Scuttle Sale Of A-29 Tucano Aircraft To Nigeria

Share this:

The DOS expects the US Congress to halt the approval of the sale of the attack aircraft based on these overwhelming legal evidence and implications.

From the Commercial point of view, the DOS is of the opinion that the procurement process/contract for this arms deal is riddled with fraud and corruption which will leave the citizens of Nigeria short-changed. 

This contract is said to cost $593 million for 12 units together with other support services but Chile bought the same number of units for $120 million with same support service but including advanced TOSS (Training and Operational Support System).

Columbia bought 25 units for $234 million while Brazil had earlier purchased, directly from Embraer, 99 units of the same aircraft for $214 million. 

It is apparent that this aircraft contract was overpriced and gold-plated with the attendant corrupt enrichment typical of procurement officers in the Nigerian military. 

Such wasteful expenditures would be better applied to reactivating the collapsed infrastructures and moribund industries in Nigeria.

Without any doubt, the funding for this ill-conceived and ill-advised attack aircraft will come from revenues derived from the sales of crude oil produced in Biafraland while the same aircraft will be used to bomb Biafrans out of existence.

The DOS calls on the US Congress to cancel this arms deal and save the lives of Biafrans which will be wasted when these attack aircraft are used to bomb Biafraland within days of landing in Nigeria.

The world is watching the US Congress and expect the Congress to do the right thing by refusing to approve the sale of the attack aircraft which will be used to carry our genocide on Biafrans.

Now is the right time for the US Congress to act in a lawful and morally upright manner in order to save millions of Biafran lives by canceling the A-29 sales to the murderous Nigerian government.
