Who on God’s earth does Isa Bayero think he is? In what century does he think we are living in? Maybe he thinks this is the age of Uthman Dan Fodio, a feudal epoch where a prince can ride roughshod on any mortal. He says he is a pilot and flew a few presidents.
Congratulations. But the age of pilots, he should know, came after the age of the divine rights of kings. He is here but living in the age of caves. Not in the 21st century. Otherwise he won’t insist that an airline about to taxi should stop for about an hour because a person wants to fly. It is not an emirate airline with a small e. It is not Feudal Air or Royal Skies. It is Airpeace and those on board were not royalists but republicans. I don’t know what presidents he flew, but I guess they were not democrats.
Bayero said Airpeace Chairman Allen Onyema should apologise? What royal impunity? The Kano throne has a history of better dignity than that. I am sure Onyema will not apologise or travel to Kano to bow for an offence committed against him. It is Isa, who should wrap his tail around him. We abide in a democracy and not in a kingdom.
