Promoting the patronage of
Nigeria organizations' products and services, The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye
Enitan Ogunwusi has thrown his weight behind Arik Air by flying with the
airline to New York and encouraging other Nigerians to do likewise. According to the airline, “Speaking with a
team from Arik Air led by the Chief Pilot, Captain Adetokunbo Adekunbi, who
were on hand to usher him to the departure lounge of Murtala Muhammed
International Airport, Ooni Ogunwusi in company with his wife, Olori Wuraola
Ogunwusi, said his decision to fly Arik Air to New York was a deliberate one
aimed at reinforcing the need to patronize our own.
He commended the
management of Arik Air for flying the flag of Nigeria high and pledged to use
his position to get Nigerians to patronize the airline.
Reiterating his foremost
position in Yoruba land, Ooni Ogunwusi stated that his flying Arik Air with
other traditional rulers will bring good fortune to the airline.
The Ooni’s entourage
numbering over 50 had not less than 10 other Yoruba traditional rulers from
Oyo, Osun and Ekiti States. To Arik Air,
it is a royal endorsement. According to a statement from the airline, “Arik Air
has received a royal endorsement from the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan
Ogunwusi Ojaja II as the foremost traditional ruler and a large entourage
including some traditional rulers from the South West States of the country
reaffirmed his support for Nigerian brands by flying Arik Air from Lagos to New
York on a tour of America.”
The First Class Monarch
who travelled from Lagos to New York aboard Arik Air’s A330-200 aircraft that
departed the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos for JF Kennedy
Airport, New York at midnight last Wednesday said, “I am an apostle of
made-in-Nigeria and that is why everything you see on me except my wrist watch
are 100% made in Nigeria”.
