Ebonyi State senator Nwebonyi wants the federal government to demolition buildings behind Abuja Airport because he hates seeing them because he considers it an eyesore

 The Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Onyekachi Nwebonyi, has called for the demolition of old buildings in the community behind the Abuja International Airport.

Nwebonyi, who is the Deputy Senate Chief Whip, made this call in a now-trending video during the last plenary on Thursday.

He wants the vicinity around the airport to have an infrastructural transformation and calls on the FCT minister to do something about it. 

In his words, “I want the FCT Minister to extend his development of the FCT within the surroundings of Abuja Airport. If you are descending into the airport, the type of infrastructure within the environs does not represent a good image of Nigeria, and I think that the FCT minister should capture that in his next budget to either relocate the habitats or renew the area, because the buildings in the community are the mirror of the country"

The senate president, however disagreed with him and pointed out that the inhabitants of that area are from there and such actions should not be considered.

The senate President Godswill Akpabio further put the bill to a voice vote at the plenary, and the sitting senators turned the bill down.
