Atiku Reacts As Airline Offers To Evacuate Nigerians From Sudan For Free

Meanwhile, Atiku has commended Air Peace for volunteering to evacuate Nigerian citizens stranded in Sudan.

Naija News reported that the indigenous airline owned by Chief Allen Onyeama had offered to evacuate Nigerians stranded in Sudan free of charge.

Reacting to the development in a lengthy post via his verified Twitter handle on Monday, Atiku applauded the gesture of the airline to evacuate stranded Nigerians in the war-torn country.

Atiku recalled that Air Peace came to the rescue of Nigerians in 2019, in the heat of the xenophobic attack in South Africa, stressing that Onyeama deserves special commendation for his uncommon act of patriotism and selfless service to the country.

The former Vice President asked the Federal Government to give the airline every assistance necessary to carry out the arduous task of evacuation.
