Allen Onyema makes unforced errors, should hire a PR expert – Omokri
The chairman and CEO of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema, has been advised to employ the services of a spokesperson to handle public relations affairs for the airline.
This was the advice given by Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement on X on Thursday, Omokri mentioned that the Airpeace boss “makes unforced errors, resulting in own goals.”
His comments come on the heels of the price war between Airpeace and other airlines operating the Lagos-London air route.
Omokri noted that the Air Peace boss shot himself in the foot when he stated that tickets for “Airpeace’s Lagos to London route are completely sold out until September 2024.”

Advising him to employ the services of a professional spokesperson, Omokri urged him to “consider separating ownership from speakership.”
Omokri’s statement reads, “Allen Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, is charming and suave. He is a good brand ambassador for his airline. However, he is not a public relations expert. As a result, he makes unforced errors, resulting in his own goals. One such is his statement that Air Peace’s Lagos to London route is completely sold out until September 2024.
“His recent complaints alleging that foreign airlines have initiated a price war against him have made the claim of selling out until September slightly less credible and more challenging to believe. You cannot launch a price war for flights in April and May for tickets already sold out until September.
“Mr. Onyema may want to be seen more and heard less. Perhaps he could consider separating ownership from speakership.
