Keyamo asks Peter Obi to pay N25,000 fine for wrongful parking at Abuja airport
This article repeats the report regarding Minister Festus Keyamo's directive to fine Peter Obi for wrongful parking at Abuja airport. It emphasizes the government's use of CCTV evidence to refute claims of a targeted persecution agenda.
Why it matters
It serves as a follow-up or duplicate report on a high-profile political dispute involving a prominent opposition figure and a government minister.
Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, has asked Peter Obi to pay N25,000 fine for wrongful parking at the Abuja airport.
In a statement on Friday, Keyamo said the vehicle that brought Obi into the airport flouted the rule, as it was parked unattended in a prohibited zone for about 30 minutes.
Keyamo’s comment followed Obi’s claim in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, where he said his car was clamped over allegations of wrongful parking, even though several other vehicles were parked in the same location.
Obi added that some people he knows at the airport now avoid greeting him for fear of becoming targets of the government.
However, the minister countered his claim, saying Obi’s driver parked the car at the drop-off zone.
