Atiku’s Team, Journalists, Passengers Stranded As Jos Airport Shuts Down by leethebee: 11:56pm On Dec 13, 2022
Hundreds of members of the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, were stranded at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Jos, the Plateau State capital moments after concluding the party’s presidential campaign rally in the state on Tuesday.

The National Organising Secretary of the PDP, Umar Bature, security personnel working directly with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as well as journalists were also stranded.

Atiku and the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) were said to have been transported to the airport shortly after the rally.

But, about 30 minutes later, the PDP candidate and some top members of the party reportedly boarded and departed from the state.

However, shortly after, the airport tower signal went off. It was gathered that an aircraft which was about to land could not land and was forced to turn back.

It was gathered that the staff received instructions to shut down the facility at exactly 5:30pm, claiming that there was no request for an extension of time by the PDP.

Some PDP members alleged that this could have been politically motivated with a member of the PDP, Justice Abraham accusing the All Progressives Congress, APC of foul play.
