Private Jets in Short Supply for Political Campaigns – Akpabio

Senator Godswill Akpabio, a prominent Nigerian politician, has expressed concern over the lack of available private jets for political campaigns. Speaking at a recent event, Akpabio stated that even private airlines are struggling to meet the demand, particularly during the upcoming December elections. According to the senator, the shortage of private jets could exacerbate the difficulties faced by airlines and potentially impact the overall efficiency of political campaigns. This issue, Akpabio suggested, warrants attention from the federal government to alleviate the plight of airlines and ensure a smooth election process.
