Allen Onyema Pledges To Send Air Peace Airlines To Evacuate Stranded Nigerians In Sudan
Posted on April 25, 2023
As the war rages in Sudan with many Nigerians stranded, Air Peace Airlines Chairman, Allen Onyema has pledged to evacuate as many Nigerians as possible.
In a statement on Monday, Onyema said that the stranded Nigerians in Sudan need urgent assistance. He stated that Nigerians could be moved to a neighbouring country where the airline would fly in and evacuate them from there as Sudan’s airspace has been closed from civil aviation flights.
“I am compelled to help because Nigeria cannot afford to lose her citizens in that country. It would be my own commitment to making sure that the stranded Nigerians in the war-torn country are safe,” he stated.
Onyema added: “It will be a privilege and honour of tremendous pride that we will be out there to give every Nigerian stranded in Sudan a sense of pride and oneness in their country”.
“We are very ready to do it immediately. No time wasting. Any action that would promote national pride, national cohesion, peace and unity, we are for it. Again, we have no apologies for believing in our nation and loving the nation despite certain national challenges.”
“If they are moved to Kenya or Uganda or any other country, we will move in to get them out. Some parents have started calling on us to help. We are ready to do this again and again” Onyema said.
