APC Tackles Delta Govt Over Concession Of ‘N40bn’ Asaba Int’l Airport For N4bn

The party challenged the State Government to put in the public
domain all that transpired about the concession of the airport.

The Delta chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC), on
Thursday, berated the state government over the concession of Asaba
International Airport to a concessionaire.

The party’s reaction was conveyed in a statement signed by its
state party spokesman, Sylvester Imonina, in Asaba.

Mr. Imonina said the party concurred that “the government has no
business in business’’.

“Unfortunately, the fraud called concessionaire of Asaba Airport
will go down in history as the greatest bleak, shady business and
economic coup against Deltans.

“It is an affront to common sense that an airport business,
wherein more than N40 billion was invested, was concessioned for N4
billion and to yield N100 million annually because of vested
interests,’’ the party stated.

He added that it was shocking that there was no advertisement
nor adequate information on plans by the government to concession
the airport.

The party challenged the State Government to put in the public
domain all that transpired about the concession of the airport.

“Also, the government should show to Deltans the corporate
bodies that partook in the exercise and how much each of them
bidded.

“We call on Deltans, and all people of goodwill, to kick against
this obvious shenanigans, called concessions of Asaba Airport.’’
