President Buhari’s media aide, Lauretta Onochie has reacted to Nigerians dragging the President into the recent fraud indictment against Air Peace boss, Allen Onyema.
Recall that the US Court had issued an arrest warrant for the Air Peace CEO, following the accusation of $20m money laundering charge leveled against him. In a series of Tweets, Lauretta Onochie noted that Buhari has nothing to do with the accusation, adding that laws, be it American or Nigerian only go after lawbreakers.
“I do not understand what President Buhari has to do with Onyema of Airpeace being indicted and charged in the USA. According to our Attorney General, the Fed. Govt. has not even been informed of the situation. American laws go after those who BREAK them What a man sows. How much has Nigeria invested in the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, NDDC & 13% derivation funds?
All, mostly in a black hole Do we know the extent of poverty, ignorance & disease in the Niger Delta? Please let America too help us see how Niger Delta underdeveloped Niger Delta. Those of us from the Niger Delta who are the direct beneficiaries of the sufferings that emanated from the looting of our wealth, will tackle them. It’s our war that is being fought.
Laws, Nigerian or American, go after those who break them so we must mind our business. We are smarter now than ever before. Gradually, the scales of tribalism, religious affinity and political loyalty, are falling off our eyes and being replaced by Nigerianism. Nigerians are not keen on tales by the moonlight. Let him Return to America and face his accusers“, she wrote.
