Commander of the 81 Air Maritime Group, Benin City, Air Commodore Soji Awomodu told the Governor that he received “a call from above” that no private jet or helicopter be allowed to fly out of Benin City to either Akure or Ekiti.The Governor who was billed to attend a mass rally organized to round-off the re-election campaigns of the Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, was left stranded at the Benin Airport for two hours before Air Commodore Awomodu delivered the message “from above”.
A source at the 81 Air Maritime Group who declined mention however said it was purely a military affair.
Oshiomhole expressed shock at the development as other APC Governors and party leaders were allowed to fly to Ekiti. He however declined to speak with reporters.
