The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, has commended the Chief Executive Officer of Peace International, Mr. Allen Onyema, and his team as they commence their international flight today (Thursday July 4, 2019).
Obi, who spoke in Abuja, described the
Development as a major move towards economic resurgence of Nigeria.
Analysing the new development, which he called, “inaugural flight into the world”, Obi said: “The move would be of immense economic boost to the country through massive employment, and earning of foreign exchange as well as encourage competitive prizing and ready availability of flights.”
Citing examples with the over 95 per cent patronage the people of Rwanda, Ethiopia and most countries that have international airlines give to their airlines, Obi said that he was confident Nigerians would patronise the airline and accept it as their own. His words: “Air Peace deserves every support from patriotism point of view and, most importantly, because they have proved their professionalism in service delivery and other aspects of airline management.” Following international license granted the airline, it commences one of the routes-Dubai- today. Thereafter, other routes will follow.
