The House of Representatives on Wednesday showered encomiums on the chairman of Air Peace Airlines, Allen Onyema, for his efforts in evacuating Nigerians from South Africa in the wake of xenophobic attacks against some foreign nationals in that country.
Onyema was ushered into the legislative chamber at about 11.36 am after House leader Alhassan Ado-Doguwa moved for the suspension of the relevant rules to enable him come into the chamber.
The speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, commended the Air Peace boss for the initiative in evacuating Nigerians from South Africa at his own personal cost.
“Hardly do we entertain people in the chamber. I believe that we are all witnesses to what he (Onyema) has done for our brothers and sisters in the last few weeks. We witnessed the scene of our brothers be united with their families. It was made possible by one man among men,” he said.
