Not a stranger to controversies, Comrade Senator Oshiomole has given his side of the story in the Airport saga between him and the staffers of Airpeace airline on Thursday morning. 

Oshiomole is being accused by Airpeace staff of conduct unbecoming of a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a former governor of Edo State.  They claimed he got to the airport late and insisted on boarding his flight, which is against the rules, which is that whoever got to the airport late would not board and would not travel at that time, but would have to make another arrangement.

But Senator Oshiomole insisted that he came on time and had been checked-in previously online but that the airline staff were insisting on a 40 minutes boarding time before departure instead of the common boarding time of 30 minutes before departure and that they resell the flight tickets of those who failed those 10 minutes at an exorbitant price to those who can pay and that the staff tried to cover up by inviting him to be given a privileged treatment which he rejected because many others were suffering the same fate like himself.

He claimed that people accused the government of everything that happened, whereas the staff of an airline caused this one.  He said he can't stand around and watch people denigrate the government he suffered so much to bring to power. He said it was for the reason of the government that he was maliciously removed as the chairman of the APC. And that he is an Asiwaju supporter, and he could not leave the people suffering injustice at the airport because he has the privilege to do so.

But in a sharp refutation, the airline has accused Senator Oshiomole of lying and claimed they had to depart on time, and they could not succumb to the privilege the Senator was asking for, as they operate on timely schedules.
