The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has called on the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDC), Peter Obi, to apologise to airport staff and pay the prescribed fine over an alleged wrong-parking incident at an airport
In a statement, Keyamo said that no individual should be treated as being above established rules and procedures, stressing that airport regulations must be obeyed by all users regardless of their status
Festus Keyamo statement reads: "As the Minister of Aviation, I felt a moral duty to investigate and authenticate the claim made by opposition candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, a few days ago that the tyres of his car were ‘unjustly’ clamped at the airport, suggesting a ‘persecution agenda’ against him by the Federal Government. Politics aside, every Nigerian is entitled to fair treatment under the law
"I therefore instituted an internal inquiry over the issue
"Luckily enough, the entire Abuja airport is covered by CCTV cameras, real-time, 24/7. But apparently, this fact was unknown to Mr. Peter Obi. Otherwise, perhaps he would have been more circumspect before rushing to the media to cry ‘persecution’.
