The FG can build an International Airport (in name) BUT can't force international air traffic on the said airport.

Economic forces determine the volumr of air traffic.
In truth, there are only three and a half airports international airports in Nigeria located in ;
1) Lagos=> Commercial capital
2) Abuja=> Seat of Government
3) Kano=>Islamic Pilgrimage
Half In't Airport )Port Harcourt=> Oil city





basilo101:

Enugu remain the only FG recognized international air route into SE. Igbo states can go an die. The airport is FG property for the whole world to use

•Ekweremadu, governors weigh options
•Why S/East leaders are angry
•Saraki wades in, holds talks with Ekweremadu

Southeast political leaders are accusing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of reneging on some pre-convention agreements reached with him.

And this is the cause of the bad blood generated in the zone by Atiku’s choice of former Anambra State governor Peter Obi as running mate for the 2019 election, The Nation can now report.

Particularly irked by the alleged renege are Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and some governors in the zone, sources said yesterday.

Associates of the Deputy Senate President and some PDP leaders in the Southeast are already putting pressure on Ekweremadu to review his status in the party.

His options are to defect from the party or remain in PDP to fight for survival.

The alleged agreements include consultation with Southeast leaders on how to pick vice presidential candidate; consensus on other positions conceded to the zone; finding a meeting point with the zone on Atiku’s idea of restructuring; need to spend one term in office and cede power to the Southeast in 2023; the offer of the VP slot to Ekweremadu (Right of First Refusal) before any other candidate.

Atiku had allegedly offered Ekweremadu the vice presidential slot a year ago.

Sources said the Deputy Senate President’s response had always been: “let us get the ticket first. I am interested in the Southeast being in the mainstream of power equation in Nigeria.”

As the PDP Port Harcourt convention approached, majority of the Southeast leaders in PDP were determined to work for Atiku, hence their decision to shun overtures from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to team up with Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.

It was gathered that a few days before the convention, Ekweremadu and some Southeast governors shunned all the meetings convened by Wike.

Within a week of Atiku’s emergence as PDP presidential candidate, he named Obi as running mate, causing bad blood in some political quarters in the zone.

The first salvo was fired by Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi who said Obi’s choice was made without consultation with leaders of the zone, although he was quick to add that he has nothing personally against Obi.

Obi himself has since launched a mission to douse the tension, moving round the zone to talk to those that matter.

But sources said the issue has continued to be a source of worry for Atiku in the Southeast.

“All our leaders have no grudges against Obi but they are just unhappy about how Atiku reneged on some of the agreements reached with him especially the essence of carrying stakeholders along,” a well- placed source said yesterday.

“Shortly after he emerged as the PDP candidate, he has stopped consulting Ekweremadu, Southeast governors and leaders.

“The painful thing is that he bowed to pressure from outside the Southeast to pick Obi and he did not care to revert to these leaders and governors on his choice.

“For instance, Ekweremadu (the highest ranking political office holder in the Southeast) was not briefed and has not been briefed till today on why Obi was picked.

“Yet, it was Ekweremadu who coordinated and delivered the block votes from the Southeast to Atiku at the convention.

“The assumption is that if Atiku can treat South-East leaders and governors in this manner as a candidate, what if he becomes the President. It is just a matter of trust. When in need, he offered Ekweremadu the position of running mate. Courtesy demands that he should have also confided in Ekweremadu before choosing Obi.”

Another source confirmed that following pressure from his associates and PDP leaders in the Southeast, Ekweremadu has started weighing options on his next step.

Investigation revealed that the Deputy President of the Senate has to choose between remaining in PDP or defecting to prove a point that he is a force to reckon with.

The third option is to remain in PDP and sabotage Atiku by entering into an alliance with President Muhammadu Buhari on a good deal for the Southeast if he is re-elected.

The source added: “From the look of things, it seems there is a conspiracy within PDP to alienate Ekweremadu.

“Apart from Atiku, the National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has not deemed it fit to call the Deputy President of the Senate on why Ekweremadu was not invited to the meeting where Obi was nominated. Even after the nomination, Secondus has not met with Ekweremadu on the choice of Obi.

“The party and Atiku went ahead to constitute the Presidential Campaign Council without any input from Ekweremadu. This is an insult.

“Some powers that be are angry with Ekweremadu for backing Atiku and the same presidential candidate does not care a hoot about Ekweremadu.

“It is regretful that we all betrayed Wike and now Atiku is abandoning our leaders.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “With the choice of Obi, Atiku is going about as if he has the South-East in his pocket. Far from it, the scenario may be different during the presidential election.

“Atiku needs to sit down afresh with Ekweremadu and other leaders to win votes from the zone. These are matchmakers in their own right.

“The unfinished business includes the following:

*Reaching consensus on other posts to concede to the zone;

* Finding a meeting point with the zone on Atiku’s idea of restructuring;

*Need to spend one term in office; and

*Ceding power to the Southeast in 2023

“Without definite answers to these demands, Atiku should forget the backing of the Southeast.”

It was also gathered that Senate President Bukola Saraki, who is the Director -General of the PCC, has waded into the complaints of the Southeast leaders.

A PDP leader said: “I am aware that Saraki has opened up talks with Ekweremadu.”

I think I agree with the southeast leaders on this. They must have an agreement and consensus with Atiku. They must not make the mistake Tinubu and the southwest made with Buhari and APC, supporting him blindly only to be dumped at the end. Which may be Tinubu's fate if Buhari wins a second term. They are only waiting to nail him finally. It high time we began to assert ourselves and demand politically. If Atiku will not yield to our demands then, he should forget it.
God punish wike and his greed. He is trying to spite ekweremadu and southeast leaders to anger, to cause division in PDP in other that Atiku fail. He is an Atiku hater, an ApC mole and a greedy ambitious and vindictive fellow, who is still pained at the lost of his chosen canditidate. Atiku should be careful and watch his back when dealing with wike

The choice of Peter Obi is not the problem, but making sure that Atiku keeps to his agreement with the southeast after riding on our support to become president is more important.

What are our deals with Atiku?

Our votes in exchange for VP position only?

If that is the cut then SHAME on us.

The cut must not end with VP position.

We also demand full and complete upgrade of Enugu airport.
Enugu-onitsha and enugu-aba.
As well as link of Aba-onitsha-owerri-enugu-abakaliki by rail tracks.

These are what responsible SE leaders will demand not just VP position.

Shame on them if anything beyond this.

Read the article, other demands are there, not just the VP position which is less important to ekweremadu but the general interest of the southeast region and moving upward in national politics.

It baffles me why they did not use Enugu, Biafra time zone.

This will inspire Abia and Imo biafrans to continue using Ph international airport with the mentality it is major biafra city, boosting revenue of Ph airport and giving FG every proof to neglect Enugu airport to rot in contrast to Ph airport.

Ipob is scoring own goal and the inclusion of Ss into Biafra may be why Biafra is yet to be achieved till date because the rest of Nigerians and foreign media will see it as greed and forcing people who have always distanced themselves from the agitation of biafra, into bondage.

Own goal IPOB. Stop identifying with Ss to make This effort more realistic but only SE.

Wike has carried out his threat of "dealing with PDP"

SE delegates massively voted for Atiku after they reached on some consensus before the primary election based on

"Key parastatals"
"VP position
"Single tenure and handing over to SE in 2023".

Wike made attempts to bring SE delegates into meeting and have them vote Tambuwal, the meetings were not honored.

Atiku emerged winner.

In order to carry along the main financer of the party and the state of the party chairman along, he worked with Wike and Secondus to select Obi and I am sure some government positions and parastatals may have been ceded to Wike to select when government is being constituted; in compensation to get his support and alongside that of SS PDP.

Igbo people naturally have no respect for leaders so Obi failed to consult with SE PDP delegates lest that they substitute him with another.

Selfish desires took over Obi so he hastily accepted the position whole heartedly.

SE leaders saw the acceptance on media and got infuriated they were used to win primaries and afterward got dumped maybe because to Wike and Atiku, we don't finance the party and also our 5 percent vote can be won with VP position given to any South easterner. Regardless if he was annointed by us or not.

If Atiku could do this before elections proper.

Then Wike and Secondus may be in control of his government when he wins. Trust me, Wike will deal with SE more than amaechi deals with SE via Ph airport.

Remember, Wike threatened to deal with pdp if they disrespect him. I think he's carrying it out on the SE PDP.

Enugu airport is a local airport, it is a useless airport without air traffic. Ordinary Owerri airport has by far more traffic.
