Alo insisted the airport would boost economic activities in the state, especially in the council where the facility is located.
Sani, who reacted to the development in a tweet on Thursday, however, commended the state government for putting in place the infrastructural facility, adding it should rather be named after other prominent people.
“The Construction of Ebonyi Airport is commendable.Kudos.But It’s immoral & sycophantic to name two Airports in the country after Buhari. He should respectfully decline it. The Airport should rather be named after Chinua Achebe, Emeka Anyaokwu, Victoria Ironsi or the Ikemba himself”, the tweet reads.
