Keyamo clashes with Seun Akinbaloye during live TV over airport drama involving Peter Obi [VIDEO]

Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, on Thursday criticised Channels Television anchor Seun Akinbaloye over a question concerning the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) 2027 presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s alleged violation of airport parking regulations.

Keyamo, who appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today, was asked to comment on the airport incident.

However, the minister took exception to the question, arguing that the NDC presidential candidate was not asked to comment on the matter during his recent appearance on the programme.

The minister alleged that the media is being biased against the government, calling for fairness.

Akinbaloye had asked, “Considering the manner in which the Federal Government handled Peter Obi’s case at the airport, don’t you think that was politics taken too far?”

In response, Keyamo said, “Peter Obi was here a few days ago and you interviewed him. Why didn’t you ask him that question? It’s not fair.

“You conducted a two-hour interview with Obi and you did not ask him about this issue, yet you are asking me.”

As the presenter attempted to wrap up the programme, Keyamo objected, saying, “You are shutting me down now because you know I want to ask a critical question.”
