An All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives candidate in Ekiti South Federal Constituency I, Air Vice Marshall Adeniyi Ojuawo (rtd), yesterday, said he had been paid his N40 million seized from him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Ojuawo, who lauded the judiciary, said he was paid a day after the contempt proceeding on Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Abdul Rasheed Bawa, was kickstarted.
The retired military officer spoke during a chat with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, saying that the position maintained by the judiciary in the contempt case he filed against the anti-graft agency attested to the fact that no Nigerian is worth being treated shabbily by those in positions of authorities.
Ojuawo, who spoke during a chat with the newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, said Governor Biodun Oyebanji had started speaking with airline operators to make the Ekiti State airport project facility fully operational by April next year.
He said: “Airport project can’t be completed as you have to continue to develop. This airport was category nine, but it was downgraded to level six at commissioning.
“We are happy that the airport had been tested to be okay. The apron and terminal have been built. So, with this, we can start operations. Governor Oyebanji is speaking with airline operators to make it fully operational.”
