Former Special Assistant on electronic media to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has alleged that exactly 14 airlines have shut down operations in Nigeria since President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015.
Omokri, who was reacting to the recent takeover of Arik Air by AMCON, claimed that most of the airlines closed operations in Nigeria due the “bad policies” of the current administration.
The ex-presidential aide, in a series of tweets, further claimed that AMCON has a history of torturing companies rather than properly managing businesses whenever it seizes them.
