Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja The United Patriots have described the decision of the Federal Government to downgrade the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu from handling international operations beca

use of its inability to expand the runway as an act capable of crippling the economy of the South-East.

Ezeobika further described the development as an act capable of undermining national interest and unity. He said the decision was a clear sign of ineptitude on the part of the government, adding that it is against the spirit of an inclusive government.

“Being the only international gateway to the South-Eastern region, Nigerians must rise up and jointly condemn this unpatriotic decision that is about to be unjustly carried out by the APC-led Federal Government against the Nigerian people and which act, undermines the unifying spirit fought for and defended by our forebears.
