Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is facing another petition for allegedly traveling with passengers using fake identities.
The petition, dated July 12, 2026, was submitted to the
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and copied to
the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC.
The petition was written by someone who identified himself
as a concerned employee in Nigeria’s aviation industry and requested an urgent
investigation into what he described as repeated breaches of aviation security,
regulatory compliance and passenger safety involving Obi and a female
passenger.
According to the petitioner, the passenger, described as one
of Obi’s media aides, had previously been banned by Air Peace because of
repeated misconduct and confrontations at airports.
The petition also claimed that the woman allegedly continued
flying on the airline using different names after the ban, with Obi allegedly
accompanying her on several occasions.
It alleged that despite the airline’s restrictions, Obi
allegedly made arrangements that enabled the passenger to continue travelling
under different identities.
The petition stated, “Despite this restriction, Peter Obi
made arrangements repeatedly for this media thug to continue travelling under a
different name in order to circumvent the airline’s decision.
“Such conduct by him undermines aviation security,
compromises passenger identification procedures, and interferes with our
airline’s ability to enforce lawful safety measures.”
According to the petitioner, airport staff were repeatedly
prevented from carrying out proper identity checks whenever Obi travelled with
the passenger.
“Every time we stop her, he prevents us from checking her
identity, even after she is reported by our staff on ground. Evidence of these
flight tickets have also been attached as he is even on some of the Passenger
Name Record, PNR,” the petition added.
