He cited the Port Harcourt International Airport which has remained abandoned by the Federal Government since 2015. Obuah regretted that the APC-led Federal Government had failed to complement the efforts of the state governor, Mr Nyesom Wike, in the execution of capital projects which would have improved the wellbeing of the people of the state. He lamented that the Federal Government ‘deliberately abandoned the state’ and was also  treating the state badly despite all the support the state governor is giving to the Federal Government and the resources the state contributes to federal coffers. He mentioned the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos as projects completed in record time, whereas the Port Harcourt International Airport remains abandoned.***prbxselfnetwork***
