Event Summary

Festus Keyamo, Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, demanded that Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress, publicly apologize and pay a N25,000 fine for wrongful parking at Nigeria — Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Keyamo released CCTV footage showing Obi's vehicle parked unattended in a restricted zone for about 30 minutes, contradicting Obi's earlier claim of unjust clamping. Keyamo gave Obi one week to comply or face further action from the Nigeria — Nigerian Ports Authority.
