Festus Keyamo, Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has imposed a N25,000 fine on former presidential candidate Peter Obi for wrongful parking at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The incident occurred on July 10, 2026, according to a statement released by Keyamo on July 11.
Keyamo stated that the vehicle transporting Obi violated airport parking regulations by stopping in a restricted area. The fine was issued under the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) regulations, which mandate penalties for such infractions to ensure safety and order at the airport.
Peter Obi, who ran for president under the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, has not yet publicly responded to the fine. The enforcement highlights ongoing efforts by the aviation ministry to maintain discipline at Nigerian airports.
