CEO of Air Peace Airlines, Allen Onyema has described the widespread notion that President Muhammadu Buhari does not like Igbos as ‘False’.
Onyema in a recent interview with ABS thanked God for the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari adding that he has gotten ‘a lot’ from his government. In his words;
“I thank God for our president, President Muhammadu Buhari. It is very untrue that he does not like the Igbos. I’m a beneficiary, without being a member of his party or any party, of his support for indigenous businesses but people don’t know, people believe what they read out there.”
“The Federal Government of Nigeria has given designations they have not given anybody yet I’m an Igbo man. I’m from Anambra, I don’t know anybody, I don’t have any Godfather.”
“President Buhari, through his minister, Hadi Sirika has given me China, has given me London, has given me Portugal, has given me the entire Europe, I’m an Igbo man…has even given me Jeddah and I’m not a Muslim, they’ve given me US, India and others.
“The Government has given me 20 designations to fly to. I’m an Igbo man. It’s not true that President Buhari does not like Igbos.”
