Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, has asked Mr Nnaemeka Ikerionwu, who volunteered to pay the N25,000 fine imposed on Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in 2023, Mr Peter Obi, to liaise with the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, on the payment process.
Last Friday, Keyamo, in a statement posted on his X handle, demanded that Obi tender a public apology to airport officials and pay a N25,000 fine over an alleged parking violation, following an internal inquiry instituted to verify the former Anambra State governor’s claim that the tyres of his vehicle were “unjustly” clamped at the airport.
According to the minister, the investigation, backed by CCTV footage, showed that Obi’s vehicle was parked unattended in a restricted area, prompting airport security personnel to clamp its tyres.
Keyamo said Obi arrived at the domestic wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on July 4, 2026, and left the vehicle after being dropped off by a police driver.
