Former Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomole, has denied reports that he shut down the Zulu terminal at General Aviation Terminal GAT at the Lagos airport terminal after missing his flight to Abuja on Wednesday, June 11. LIB had reported that according to eyewitnesses, the Senator representing Edo North in the Senate, had arrived the terminal at 6:10am to catch a Flight to Abuja, scheduled to depart at 6:30 am. However, the boarding process was said to have already been closed. It is alleged that upon being told that he had missed his flight, Oshiomole engaged the airline staff in a heated argument and went on to block the terminal entrance, preventing other passengers from accessing the departure hall. However in a chat with Arise TV, Oshiomole denied the allegation. He said that despite arriving the airport at 6am, 30 minutes before the flight and checking in his luggage online, the airline staff still marked him and other passengers absent, insisting that the only way they could get on the next flight was to pay an additional N109, 000 which he rejected. According to him, the airline staff had tried to give him a preferential treatment after finding out who he is but he insisted that the same treatment offered to him, be offered to other aggrieved passengers. The Former APC Chairman says his decision to enforce his rights and that of others at the airport including women and children, made the airline accuse him of disrupting its operations. When I got to the airport, I had my checking in. They denied me. Then when somebody now went inside and said it is Oshiomole, the senior manager then came out and said oga, lets see how I can sort you out. I said No I dont want personal favours. I want my right and the right of these Nigerians to be enforced.This people pay N146, 000 at the time they bought, Those who are buying emergence tickets are paying as much as N250, 000. So they frustrate those who pay online at the rate quoted by them and give priority to those who have no previous reservation, who are ready to pay double the price.”Watch a video of him speaking below View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Oshiomole responds to alleged reports he shut down Lagos airport terminal after missing his flight to Abuja appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.Oshiomole responds to alleged reports he shut down Lagos airport terminal after missing his flight to Abuja
