“ATTENTION : His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President Federation Republic of Nigeria,
“The attention of Amb Musa Muhammed Tsoken, President, APC Initiative for Good Governance (APC-IGG), has been drawn from a submission, written by Rev. Dr David Kayode and his complaints read as follows :
“I am writing to express my utmost concern and disappointment regarding an incident that occurred at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, Nigeria. On this day, Egypt Airlines refused to accept the Naira as a legal tender for payment for services rendered at their terminal 2 counter. Instead, they insisted on payment in US Dollars.
As you are aware, the Naira is the recognized legal tender of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is unacceptable for a foreign entity to disregard our laws and disrespect our national currency. This incident not only undermines our country’s sovereignty but also sets a bad precedent for other foreign entities operating in Nigeria.
I urge the APC-IGG to investigate this matter and take immediate action to address this blatant disregard for our laws. It is imperative that we enforce our laws and regulations to prevent such incidents from recurring.
As a former Chairman of the Voice for the Voiceless of Empire State of New York City, USA, and currently serving as Clergy Advisors to Queens Borough District Anthony of New York City, I am confident that this incident constitutes an international violation of Nigerian law.
I implore your good offices to take immediate and appropriate action to address this matter. We must demonstrate our commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting our national interests.
“Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. ” Having perused through the petition vide supra, we deem it expedient to crave the indulgence of Mr. President to take immediate action to ratify this trend as it constitutes a serious treat to our economy and the image of our in the outside world as a sovereign country . Amb Musa Muhammed Tsoken, National President APC Initiative For Good Governance APC-IGG
