A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chika Nwoba, has questioned the rationale behind the recommissioning of the rehabilitated runway of the Chuba Okadigbo airport in Ebonyi State.
The PDP chieftain said it amounted to a waste of resources since the airport had been commissioned two years ago.
The runway, which was rehabilitated by Governor Francis Nwifuru, was recommissioned by the wife of the president, Sen. Remi Tinubu, on Friday in an elaborate ceremony.
Reacting to the development, Nwoba said it was shameful that, about two years after the airport, built by former Governor Dave Umahi, was commissioned by former President Muhammed Buhari without yielding a kobo to the state, more money was being spent to recommission it.
He said, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State uses this opportunity to fault the APC-led government of Ebonyi State over the government’s penchant for frivolities.
“It is very disturbing. We don’t have a problem with hosting the president’s wife, but with the amount of public money that was sunk into it when the people of the state groan in hunger and abject poverty.”
