Sani stated that it is the Christian Igbo man that is now offering to airlift the stranded students, most of them Muslims, from Sudan to Nigeria.
Senator Shehu Sani has broken his silence after Airline owner, Onyeama Allen offered to fly Nigerian students stranded in Sudan back home free of charge.
Reacting in a post on his Facebook page today April 24, Sani slammed religious and ethnic bigots.
He said some Muslims in the past had kicked against him airlifting Muslims to Saudi Arabia. Today, they hail the same Igbo man for trying to airlift Muslims from Sudan.
Sani wrote:
‘’Some people were not happy when Air Peace owned by a Christian Igbo man was considered to Air lift pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.They reasoned that the ones owned by Muslims should be.Today,most of those students stranded in the Sudan are Muslims;I have been to Sudan and I sponsored many students to study there.The Airline owned by the Christian Igbo is there to freely fly them out of danger.Eye glasses tinted with ethnicity or religion will never give you a clearer vision of any plain object.''
