Ebonyi State government has dismissed social media critics and oppositions in the state, alleging that flooding has taken over the Chuba Okadigbo airport, Onueke Ezza South south local government Area of the state.
The government, however, urged all the regulatory bodies in Nigeria and the general public to ignore such reports by social media critics who have continued to paint the great image and reputation of the Chuba Okadigbo’s airport in bad light.
The Commissioner for Aviation and transport technology, Mrs Ngozi Obichukwu, made the call shortly after seeing the Governor, Francis Nwifuru, off from the airport.
Obichukwu who equally took some stakeholders of the state round the airport on assessment, warned those born liars critics to desist from purveying the airport in bad light, adding that no amount of criticism will stop the governor, Francis Nwifuru from succeeding in his administration.
According to her: “Chuba Okadigbo international airport is one of the best in the country. And it remains the best.Telling lies, criticizing, and writing jargon does not change anything. If there is any problem you have, maybe anything you need, you can go straight to the government and request it. And not criticizing.
“It’s not true. There was nothing like flooding in this airport. This is a clean project that we are already putting to use. Aircrafts have been landing and taking off in this airport. We just received two flights this morning.
“You saw one that was parked there. Another one is coming before 5 o clock today. Like I’ve been saying, we have rules and regulations from the regulatory bodies of aviation.
“The airport is not an ordinary keke park, or bus park, or ordinary motorcycle park. It”;Those who are saying that the Chuba Okadigbo’s airport is not working are liars.They are born liars.Some of them have never even crossed this gate.Some have never even entered the door of flight. And some will be telling you there is nothing. How will you know that the airport is working when you have not even been here?
“And so, my governor is not moved by whatever negative criticism. He is determined to succeed. And he is succeeding.And nobody will stop him from getting to the goal. We are already there”; she stated.
