Chairman of Air Peace Airline, Allen Onyema, has appealed to aggrieved persons and groups in the misunderstanding between Air Peace and the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign.
Speaking during Independent Newspapers Awards 2021, themed; ‘Celebrating Trailblazers’, Onyema said that Air Peace was born out of peace and, in that respect, he won’t be used as an agent of destruction.
He said: “Let me make it clear that the Emir of Kano is my brother, as well as Isa Bayero. It’s on record that Isa Bayero was very instrumental in the setting up of Air Peace in Kano. So, I will not like to be used as an instrument that will destabilize this country.”
Onyema disclosed that what happened was just a misunderstanding. “I hereby call on everybody to keep his or her sword and let this thing end. I don’t want this issue to degenerate into an ethnic issue, so I am appealing to everybody to let’s move on.”
