Kingsley Kuku, Allen Onyema with House of Reps Committee Members on the Niger Delta visiting Proclad Academy, Dubai (Where Allen Onyema’s business outfit ICNPD) is training Niger Delta youths in Welding for millions of dollars.

Initially, there were rumors that Air Peace, a new Airline whose aircrafts have recently been cited at Lagos Airports belong to the First Lady Patience Faka Jonathan.

That is all not true. We believe at this moment, that those who churned out the story that the Airlines belonged to the First Lady did so deliberately to hide the truth and to mislead the people.

The truth did not take too long to come out. Business concerns owned by Allen Onyema, a Lagos based businessman, colleague and close confidant of the Special adviser to the President on Niger Delta & Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme Kingsley Kuku have not been confirmed as responsible for the Airlines and more to that, Allen Onyema has now publicly confirmed that he is the Chairman of the Air Peace Airlines.

Allen Onyeama’s business outfit handled the demobilization and orientation of former NigerDelta militants which cost billions of Naira to run. Allen Onyema has also been responsible for high valued training contracts (running into billions) in the areas of welding training as well as aviation training for the Presidential Amnesty Programme in countries such as South Africa, The United States and Dubai.

The appointment of Kingsley Kuku as SA, Niger Delta & Chairman of the Amnesty Programme in January 2011, was a huge blessing for Allen Onyema as it gives him automatic access to a monster chunk of the more sixty billion naira allocated to the amnesty programme yearly.

Two of Allen Onyeama’s NGOs which also double as business outfits are known to be the biggest beneficiary of large value Presidential Amnesty Contracts and we can confirm that none of these outfits has any ties to the First Lady Patience Jonathan.

They include the Foundation for Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria (FEHN) and the International Center for Non-violence & Peace Development (ICNPD).

All the contracts awarded to Allen Onyema and his business run into millions of dollars and are all grossly inflated and over valued in a manner designed to short change the Amnesty Programme and steal the billions of naira yearly allocated to the manage the amnesty program me in the Niger Delta.

Sources close to Kingsley Kuku and Allen Onyeama say that Kingsley Kuku’s fears that the President might not return in 2015 and the need to settle his future spurred Kuku and Onyeama to start the Airlines on time rather than wait for the Presidential election in 2015.

Over time, Ex-militant leaders in the Niger Delta had spoken up about the rot in the Presidential Amnesty Programme but we were not listened to.

Rather, a band of lesser known and less credible leaders are being patronized by the Amnesty Programme and paid to issue press releases that threaten mayhem to Nigerians if President Jonathan is not elected in 2015 as though it was their votes that brought him to power in 2011.

As a group of committed leaders of the Niger Delta, we have over time resolved to work with all Nigerians for the success of President Jonathan in carrying out his responsibilities as a son of the Niger Delta, President of Nigeria and a father to all Nigerians. The journey to success in 2015 will be done in collaboration will all well meaning Nigerians because we believe, like many other Nigerians, that President Jonathan means well.

In the times past, we spoke about the false records of militants that the Amnesty Office parades but we were ignored.

We exposed the faulty award of scholarships to so-called Niger Deltans and we were again ignored even when we made it clear that Kingsley Kuku had been awarding scholarships to girlfriends, children of girlfriends and many others who had no business with the Niger Delta and that scholarship award.

Novena University is one of the Universities used by the Presidential amnesty Programme to train program recipients YET the children of the owner of Novena University are also included in Amnesty Programme.

A scion of a former political rival to President Jonathan, Timi Alaibe, Kingsley Kuku was not the first choice for the position of Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta & Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme. The first choice candidate had been Dr Felix Tuodolor, an Ijaw intellectual and highly cerebral first President of the Ijaw Youth Council. Felix Tuodolor was upstaged because there was a believe in certain Ijaw and Niger Delta quarters that he will not ‘SHARE’ money for the boys.

Kingsley Kuku it is, who likes to brag that he has the Chief of Army Staff in his pocket and that he settles the President’s wife very regularly. Quite sordid.

In January 2013, It was Allen Onyema who paid tens of thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign support group to enable Onyema and Kingsley Kuku to enjoy a photo-shot with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their wives.

Clearly, It would therefore not be difficult to start an airline with such heavy financial support.

Question is, will Kuku and his Air Peace Airlines recruit all the Pilots they say that Amnesty has trained? Or will they allow the poor fellows to go out there themselves and make bread for their families?

Our collected call to the President is that Kingsley Kuku be immediately removed as SA to the President on Niger Delta & Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme. A reject a thief lording over the collective destiny of the Niger Delta and we call on the President to do the needful as a matter of urgency.

Kingsley Kuku’s loyalty is clearly not to the President but to his pockets and to his former lords.

A word has always been good enough for the wise.

IF our call is not heeded, we will announce a withdrawal of our support for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in the 2015 elections. We have suffered enough.

BluntBoy:


Can't you read?

There is a portion of the 2014 piece that seems to corroborate a portion of the indictment against Onyeama.

That is the point. Sometimes, just being a little bit more open-minded will help you understand issues better.

FROM THE MINUTE JOE IGBOKWE OPENED HIS MOUTH, I KNEW THE AFONJA IN BUHARI GOVERNMENT HAVE STARTED THEIR ATTACK.

FUNNY ENOUGH, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT BORDEED HIS FREE FLIGHT FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO NIGERIA WHERE YORUBA FROM OGUN STATE.

ONE THING NNAMDI KANU HAVE ALWAYS SAID AND IS RIGHT IS THAT NO MATTER WAT AN IGBO MAN DOES FOR NIGERIA, HE WILL NEVER GO UNPUNISHED FOR IT, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.

FROM THIS TRASH NAPTU POSTED, U CAN SEE WHERE THE ATTCK IS COMING FROM.

THE SAME OLD YORUBAS THAT ARE FOLLOWING AWOLOWO PATH TO MOUNT ECONOMIC ATTACK AGAINST THE IGBO.

OldBeer:

Wiseandtrue:

You don't expect them to see any crime other than their political enemies and competitors

They want certain people to have monopoly of every thing in this country!!!

You heard El-rufai bragging the other day of how the North are the richest despite many not educated

You wonder why they are so insecure

[s]Y DONT U USE YOUR MONIKER?

ALLEN ONYEMA IS NOT A POLITICAL FIGURE LIKE TINUBU WHO LOOTS LAGOS TREASURY.

ALLEN IS A BUSINESS MAN.

ALLEGATIONS WILL SURELY COME BUT PROVING THEM IS WHERE WE SEPARATE SLANDER FROM CONVICTION.

THIS TRASH, U POSTED HERE, EXPOSES YORUBA AS THE PEOPLE BEHIND THESE ATTACK AND THEY WILL FAIL, JUST AS THEY HAVE HISTORIACLLY ALWAYS FAILED ON THEIR ECONOMIC WAR AGAINST THE IGBOS.

WATEVA U DO, WE WILL STILL COME OUT ON TOP.[/s]
