Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Barrister Allen Onyema, has said he is not aware of any plan to have a One-on-one interactive dinner with Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
An invitation circulating on social media within the last few days purportedly listed the Air Peace boss and Managing Director, Chisco Transport, Dr Chidi Anyaegbu, as organisers of a one-on-one interactive dinner with Governor Sanwo-Olu on Sunday, 5th March, 2023.

Reacting to that, Onyema, however, said he has no knowledge of such event talk more of being one of the organisers.
A statement personally signed by the Air Peace boss said he saw the e-invite, which is purportedly supposed to take place on Sunday, 5th March 2023, on social media like any other person.
He maintained that he was not part of the organisers as purported by the claim on the e-invitation card, adding that nobody had contacted him with regard to such engagement with the state government and urged well-meaning Nigerians to disregard the information.
“My name was included as one of the organisers of the proposed dinner. The truth is that I saw the invitation card via social media last night for the first time. I am not in anyway involved in the said dinner and its organisation.
“Nobody has contacted me or ever contacted me in respect of the event. I suspect that the e-invite is not genuine and is most likely, a social media fabrication planted by some mischievous elements.
“Members of the public are therefore urged to discountenance the said e-invite. I knew nothing about it. Neither the Governor nor myself ever discussed the planning and/or execution of such an event. It is pure mischief,” part of the statement read.
Onyema said he had utmost respect for Sanwo-Olu, adding that the governor’s name was “mischievously mentioned in the card as a guest.”
