Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has criticised the decision by AON to impose a lifetime flight ban on a young passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, over misconduct on board.
In a statement on Tuesday, Obi revealed that he had apologised to the airline and its crew for the passenger’s “unacceptable conduct” but expressed shock at the severity and speed of the punishment, describing it as unjust and disproportionate.
If this young woman, who indeed acted wrongly, now seeks to apologise, who will hear her cry in a country where the pain of the poor is invisible and the dignity of the less privileged is often disregarded? Justice must be consistent, or it becomes oppression in disguise.
