A socio-political organisation, under the aegis of Igbo Centre for Education and Cultural Advancement, on Friday said the Federal Government had changed the negative narrative of the South-East about the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), following the resolution of the air transport impasse with the United Arab Emirates through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. According to him, stakeholders of the Igbo nation should support the Buhari regime for the decisive intervention it took over the Air Peace diplomatic face-off with the UAE. He said, “Air Peace had sought three landing spaces for the Airport in Sharjah, UAE, but was denied the request and offered one slot. In response to the UAE government’s refusal, the Nigerian government withdrew the earlier winter schedule granted to Emirates Airline through the NCAA.
