For further clarification, it is common practice all over the world that a repentant offender is made to preach publicly against the exact conduct from which he has repented. It is akin to Community Service. It is not paid for and it is voluntary service.
Unfortunately, in Nigeria, some would assume that once you hear the word ‘Ambassador’ it is a big position that comes with the perquisites of office. No, it is not. It is for free. It is not the first time it is happening in Nigeria and it will not be the last . Examples abound of such roles given to repentant persons by previous governments in Nigeria.
Whilst the Aviation agencies are considering using KWAM 1 for such a role, in my discussion last night with the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), they are also looking at the option of using Ms. Comfort Emmanson, who has also shown remorse, as their own Ambassador for good passenger conduct. It is left for the AON to work out those details since she has been actually released from prison custody today based on my earlier statement.
Whilst the usual suspects can continue to question our decisions on this issue, we firmly believe we have been fair to all."

Yahaya Bello will soon use become EFCC ambassador once he finishes editing his own apology video.
Una no dey surprise me again.
will soon become**
DeleteAs in.....
DeleteMake Comfort an ambassador too. Mad peopl
ReplyDeleteNaija and their frustrations and wonder why they cannot march to Aso Rock and fight the frustrations on them! Not saying Wasiu was right and Since we are quick to say “Can the person do that in abroad” Allow me to say that YES. I have a lot of celebrities or famous people being An Ambassador for a cause that they are accused of doing. Like if it is DWI or other things, that person can be an Ambassador or do PSA to give public awareness to the issues. Period! Unfortunately we make something out of nothing
DeleteAnon 23:58, that is not the point. Even if you eventually become an ambassador, you still have to serve punishment okay. Yes he will never do it abroad because him own go finish patapata.
DeleteSir,it still doesn't make sense. 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteNa real mad people in govt
ReplyDeleteLet everybody continue to be mad then. Nonsense
ReplyDeleteTo me it is community service by proxy.
ReplyDeleteThe disgrace he brought upon himself by that rubbish airport display is more than enough punishment for him in my eyes. Omo I have no respect for him anymore, because wisdom is far from him. And then the pilot is slso a foolish person,she should thank her God that it happens in Nigeria,she would lose her license for life. Don't allow riff raff to jeopardize your profession.
ReplyDeleteGod works in miraculous ways. Just imagine if KWAM 2 happened before KWAM 1.
ReplyDeleteForget 5 and 6, Nigeria and consequence are 2 and J. They just REFUSE to live by it. Right down to terrorists they will still look for how to abide by accountability and consequence because that will mean everybody can be punished! Heaven will eventually set things right for una
