The Arewa Consultative Youth Forum (ACYF), has called on the federal government to always stand firmly with its citizens in moments of challenges abroad.
The forum noted with nostalgia and shame how the 2019 US indictment of Allen Onyema has been used and promoted deliberately by a section of the Nigerian press to malign the character and businesses of one of Nigeria’s true nationalists in a calculated bid to bring him down and ultimately, Air Peace, Nigeria’s leading airline.
The statement explained that the government owes a duty to protect the integrity of its citizens and their corporate image whenever such is called into question. The youths asked, “Why are we watching and waiting for him to be consumed? What has he done wrong? Even if he did anything wrong, is it wrong enough to waste the over 15,000 jobs he created for his nation if he falls? What is the government doing?”
It added that the US caused the arrest of the daughter of the managing director of Huawei, a Chinese company, for money laundering, adding that the Chinese government acted swiftly and the rest is history.
