Reps on oversight function, others stranded for 12 hours at Kano airport

Members of the House of Representatives’ committee on Petroleum Upstream on oversight function to Kano State were stranded for hours at the airport.

They had arrived at Kano airport by 12.30pm en route Abuja at 2pm on Wednesday only to be deserted by their airline.

The spokesman for the House, Benjamin Kalu, who was affected by the delay said after a long wait of about 12 hours, a promise from the Azman airline to lift them only came at 12.15am, Thursday, that’s Wednesday midnight.

He said, “Twelve hours wait for a one-hour flight between Kano and Abuja. All passengers including the House of Reps members are abandoned with no one addressing them or giving them or given a cup of water.

He said, “We got here 12.30pm and we are told we will be lifted 12.15am.

“The National Assembly members frown on how their citizens are treated in such delay.”
