No more flights to Abuja: Rita bans self

By vanguard

As May 29 inches nearer and political tension heightens with explosions rocking even the safest of places – like the Abacha Military Barracks, Abuja, celebs are beginning to take safety measures while going about their daily activities.

Perhaps after pondering on the Abuja New Year eve explosion for a few days, Imo state beauty, Rita Dominic has decided against traveling to Abuja by air citing the desperation of political powers as cause. The actress said on Wednesday that she'd rather drive.

“As elections get closer I will only be driving to Abuja. No flights for me cos some of these people are 2 desperate for power” — @ritaUdominic

Now don't ask me if it's safer to drive such long distance than to fly. Or if our Nollywood beauty can survive driving through our beautifully tarred inter-state roads.

By the way, who says she must drive herself? But even with a driver can Rita withstand the road bumps and sudden traffic deadlock situations? Uhmmm, I'm really thinking.

Well, I'll agree with Rita to some point. Everyone knows that our public figures will not drive across states that have airports especially with their busy schedules.

So I guess Rita would not like to be caught air bound in any cross fire, as there are no sudden stops to alight. Go on Rita: Seek caution and apply safety. But while you're on that road trip to Abuja, a security convoy may come in handful. Good luck!
