Aviation expert and founder of 7-Star Global hanger, the first-ever privately owned independent Aircraft overhaul maintenance and repair facility in West and Central Africa that handles Boeing 737 fleets, private jets military/paramilitary aeroplanes and other aircraft type maintenance, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress and embraced the Labour Party.
He was previously the Arewa youth president and had mobilised for the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency in 2015. Balami who founded 7-Star Global Airline, the first African premium airline, specialising in scheduling, non-scheduling and cargo operations, decided to sell off his hangar and sowed the proceeds from it into the presidential ambition of Peter Obi.
Balami who stressed that he has gotten to a critical junction in his life when the sternest of decisions become unavoidably compelling and incontrovertible said, ‘’I have sold my majority stake in my aircraft hangar as well as my airline, to join my fellow Nigerians in the Obidient movement, just so I can more dedicatedly, fight this struggle to rescue the soul of this great nation. This is my sacrifice!”
Besides being a former National President of the Nigeria Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, Balami in 2018 founded Labour Room Reality TV show, Nigeria’s first reality TV show geared towards national development.
