President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has made a dramatic and passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, begging for mercy on behalf of legendary Fuji maestro, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal a.k.a K1 De Ultimate.
The appeal follows a recent incident at the local wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, which led to a ban on K1 and the pilot involved, Captain Oluranti Ogoyi.
However, Oluomo, in his appeal, urged the President, the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), to have mercy and lift the flight ban imposed on the musician.
The letter reads in full; “I, Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers of Nigeria (NURTW), humbly and fervently appeal to you to exercise mercy and forgiveness towards Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1). Like a prodigal son, K1 has acknowledged his mistakes, is sincerely apologetic, and is willing to make amends.”
“I respectfully and earnestly request that the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo, and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, consider tempering justice with mercy by lifting the ban imposed on K1 and the pilot, Oluranti Ogoyi, following the incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport’s local wing in Abuja.”
“On behalf of K1, I extend unreserved and heartfelt apologies to the CEO of Value Jet, Mr. Kunle Soname, the staff, the pilot, and the general public. We acknowledge K1’s wrongdoing and deeply appreciate his 50-year contributions to Nigeria’s growth and the promotion of Yoruba culture worldwide.”
“I plead with the authorities to accept K1’s apology and show mercy, considering his legacy and dedication to the nation. May wisdom guide your decisions, and may we not throw away the baby with the bathwater. Mercy and forgiveness will not only bring solace to K1 but also uphold the values of compassion and humanity.”
