Senior Partner at Justice Chambers, Ekemini Udim, has identified reasons why the presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi, may not apologise to airport officials and pay a N25,000 fine over an alleged parking violation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, had made the demand in a statement on his X platform, Friday, following an internal inquiry he said was instituted to verify Obi’s claim that his vehicle’s tyres were “unjustly” clamped at the airport.
The minister said the investigation, supported by CCTV footage from the airport, showed that Obi’s vehicle was parked unattended in a restricted area, leading airport security personnel to clamp the tyres.
Keyamo said Obi arrived at the domestic wing of the Abuja airport on July 4, 2026, and left the vehicle after being dropped off by a police driver.
