“As for my presidential ambition, indeed, l am grateful to God that he gave me the opportunity to showcase to the country what I had to offer.

“I am happy because sincerely, l like the reactions that l have received from various people about my speech at the primaries.

“There was a clear indication that everyone knew that l had something to offer this country, but it was not my time, it was not my day.

“It was someone else’s and l am happy for Sen. Bola Tinubu who has taken the ticket of our party.

“As you are well aware, Cally Air has two aircraft and we need three to be licensed to actually run an independent airline. That has been a challenge for sometime now.

“We had a fruitful conversation with some companies out there with the intention to provide us one aircraft that will enable us have three aircraft, so we can run in full swing,” he said.
The governor added that he also held some discussions with some cargo companies to see how they could partner with the state for the Obudu Cargo Airport.

“Work at the airport has reached an advanced stage and l am very convinced and confident that before long, the Obudu Cargo Airport should be fully operational.

“So, we need to start having a foot falls ahead of time. That explains why l really took out time to get that done, he said.
