Peter Obi |
X user (@oluwaloninyo) almost went ahead to “cuss Air Peace for this 9 hour delay”, however, she held back because Peter Obi who she tagged “our leader” was on her flight.
The former Governor of Anambra State responded after being tagged in @oluwaloninyo ‘s tweet and apologized on behalf of the Nigerian airline (Air Peace), and explained, “these days, I have learned to avoid criticizing or getting easily annoyed with Nigerians and, in particular, Nigerian businesses, given the harsh and difficult environment they have to navigate”.
X user (@oluwaloninyo) tweeted: “I was waiting to land in Lagos before I cuss Air Peace for this 9 hour delay.
But, @PeterObi is on my flight. Let me respect our leader.”
Peter Obi quoted @oluwaloninyo ‘s tweet and commented: “Thank you, my dear
@oluwaloninyo . Let me sincerely apologize on their behalf. These days, I have learned to avoid criticizing or getting easily annoyed with Nigerians and, in particular, Nigerian businesses, given the harsh and difficult environment they have to navigate. The situation in our country demands that we always apply caution as we try to understand each other’s circumstances and factor them into our judgment of them. This should act as a reminder that many are doing their best despite the challenging circumstances and that patience and understanding can go a long way.”
HC: Nice! I love the part where Peter Obi clarified to the X user on “…the harsh and difficult environment” businesses are facing in Nigeria.
