Keyamo, who stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday, said he has given the approval for Air Peace to add Abuja to its London route.
“Just yesterday (Wednesday), I approved Air Peace for the Abuja-London route, not only Lagos-London route. British Airways also come to Abuja. So, let Air Peace block that path and start a war. It’s all for the good of Nigerians,” he said.
Keyamo said Air Peace or any interested local airline should be operating to Heathrow Airport and not Gatwick Airport but said the latter is only a low-hanging fruit and a starting point.
