The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential candidate in the 2019 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has appealed to the Federal Government to rebuild the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (Imo Airport) that was gutted by fire on Monday.
In a statement by his media aide, Valentine Obienyem, the Anambra State former governor said that it was painful to watch the damage to the infrastructure built by the people of Imo State.
While appealing for the protection of the few functional infrastructure in the country, Obi called on the Federal Government to immediately determine the immediate cause of the arson, put in place measures to prevent such in future, as well as re-build the airport as compensation to Imo people that initially saw the project to fruition. It would be recalled that mysterious fire on Monday April 8, 2019 gutted the arrival section of the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
