It was learnt that the senator, in company with about five aides, left the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja aboard a regular private jet that he usually travels with. It was learnt that the former governor was conveyed to his aircraft by a tarmac bus.
Sources at the airport told Punch that Akpabio and his team arrived at the General Aviation Terminal, local wing, of the airport around 12.40pm.
An official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, who saw the senator while he was about to board his aircraft, said, “He (Akpabio) was at the GAT local wing of the airport and one of the tarmac buses was used to convey him to his aircraft. He left around 20 minutes to 1pm.
“The flight conveying him on the trip taxied to the international terminal from where it took off. The former governor travelled with his own private flight and had about five persons who accompanied him on the trip.”
Akpabio, who is currently the Minority Leader of the Senate, was involved in a car accident on his way to the airport to catch an international flight on Monday after his Jeep disobeyed traffic.
