A member of the House of Representatives, Dr. Ajibola Muraina (PDP-Oyo), has commended the cabin crew of Air Peace Airline involved in airlifting stranded Nigerians from South Africa describing the act as selfless.
He commended the House for taking the lead in honoring the chairman of the Airline, Allen Onyema, whose airline had done the airlifting free of charge.
The lawmaker called on his colleagues to donate a sum of N100,000 each to honour and appreciate them for their service to the country.
His words,“The National Assembly has taken the lead in appreciating the return of the spirit of selfiessness, being our brothers’ keepers and exhibiting milk of kindness.
“I humbly suggest that the National Assembly should demonstrate a further lead by example.
“I suggest most humbly that my noble colleagues from the National Assembly should consider making token donations from their salaries, whatever amount they deem it starting from N100,000 each upwards, for the cabin crew of Air Peace.
“They have worked and continue to work without taking any allowance, the Nigerians that have been evacuated back to Nigeria and those that may still further be evacuated.
