The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has given the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, a seven-day ultimatum to publicly apologise to airport officials and pay a N25,000 fine for allegedly violating parking regulations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
In a statement issued on Friday, Keyamo said an internal investigation, backed by CCTV footage from the airport, contradicted Obi’s recent claim that his vehicle was unjustly clamped as part of political persecution.
According to the minister, the incident occurred on July 4 when Obi arrived at the airport’s domestic terminal at about 8:28pm.
He alleged that after Obi alighted from the vehicle, his police driver parked in a designated drop-off zone, left the vehicle unattended and entered the terminal, contrary to airport regulations.
