Chanchangi Denies, After Being Named As Sponsor/Financier Of Bokoharam by edoyad(m): 7:49am On Aug 27, 2011 |
Kaduna airlines operator denies sponsorship From NOAH EBIJE, Kaduna Monday, August 22, 2011 The Chairman, Chanchangi Airlines Nigeria Limited, Alhaji Ahmadu Chanchangi has denied sponsoring the Islamic sect, Boko Haram. Chanchangi, at a press conference in Kaduna yesterday, reacted to a report published by an Abuja-based monthly magazine, which indicted him as one of the sponsors of the Boko Haram in the North. The conference, which was jointly addressed by the Managing Director and Executive Director (Operations) of the airlines, Mr. Trevor Worthington and Alhaji Musa Chanchangi said the publication was not only false but misleading because the airlines boss is a philanthropist who promotes both the western and Islamic education through a secondary school he founded where indigent students of different religious faith enjoyed scholarship. “We the management of Chanchangi Airlines Nigeria Limited, wish to react to a publication in a magazine headlined, ‘Boko Haram: The Men Behind the Terror.’ On page 18 of the magazine, our Chairman, Alhaji Ahmadu Chanchangi, was included as one of the sponsors of the religious sect. “The report is not only false, it is misleading and it is a figment of the imagination of the publisher, the writer. We see it as the handiwork of mischief-makers who are all out to tarnish the reputable image of our chairman, which he has built over the years. “The publisher threw professionalism to the mud and went ahead to publish a speculation in order to sell his paper. In deliberate attempt to cover up their mess, the name of the writer or author of the report was not included. “To put the record straight, our chairman is not one of the sponsors of the activities of the sect and he has nothing to do with them. Alhaji Ahmadu is preoccupied with his aviation business and philanthropy works in an effort to contribute towards the development of the country. “Contrary to the belief of the sect, our chairman is a promoter of both western and Islamic education hence his establishment of Gummi Secondary School where indigent students both Muslim and non-Muslim alike are given scholarships. “To this end, we are demanding for an apology from the publisher and a retraction which must be given same prominence with the misleading report otherwise we will be compelled to ask our team of lawyers to institute a legal action against the publisher for libel as the report defamed the person, character of our chairman. “We are giving him two weeks starting from today, August 21, 2011 to see to our demands. “We are appealing to our esteemed customers, passengers and all other business associates of our company to disregard the publication and see it as a tissue of lies concocted by our detractors. As a committed airline company, we are working hard to see to the needs of our growing network of passengers. “Once more, we will like to stress that our chairman is not one of the sponsors of the sect and, in fact, he has nothing to do with them. “His house is open to both Muslims and Christians because of his philanthropic and accommodating life style. 60 percent of the workforce of his company are non-Muslims and are from different parts of the country and the world,” they said http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/aug/22/national-22-08-2011-010.htmlh the reputable image of our chairman, which he has built over the years. “The publisher threw professionalism to the mud and went ahead to publish a speculation in order to sell his paper.
