The protest, our correspondent gathered, occurred at the Akanu-Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, yesterday.
Also, the kinsmen of the minister led by High Chief George Nwabueze stood in defence of their daughter, saying she shouldn’t be crucified based on the situation.
Our correspondent gathered that the protesting youths carried placards with different inscriptions.
They alleged that some persons were behind calls for the removal of the minister, insisting that “the intention of the cabal was to stop the minister from going ahead with her transformation agenda in the aviation sector”.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Emeka Agbo, who is also a student of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu said, “Igbo youths are prepared to go the whole hog in ensuring that their daughter is protected from some highly placed individuals who are determined to rubbish the towering pedigree and achievements of the minister.”
“This is a woman that has given the aviation sector a new face. Today, our airports can compete with airports across the world. Before she came into office, we only heard about international airports but today, it has become a reality in Igbo land. We are ready to swim and sink with her,” Agbo said.
