Air Peace CEO Allen Onyema supports boxing champion with N10m
Dr. Allen Onyema, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of West and Central Africa’s largest airline, Air Peace, has reaffirmed the airline’s unwavering commitment to sports development and youth empowerment with the warm reception and sponsorship of rising Nigerian boxing sensation, Elisha “Viper” Obizulike, the newly crowned West African Boxing Union (WABU) welterweight champion.
The courtesy visit, which underscores Air Peace’s long-standing belief in sports as a powerful vehicle for national pride, diplomacy, and youth development, culminated in the Chairman’s announcement of a ₦10 million sponsorship package and complimentary flight tickets for one year to any Air Peace destination in support of the undefeated boxer’s professional journey.
Obizulike, who clinched the WABU welterweight title in December 2025, has continued to cement his status as one of Nigeria’s most promising boxing prospects. His meteoric rise in the welterweight division reflects years of discipline, resilience, and unwavering focus, qualities Dr Onyema described as essential to national growth.
Commending the boxer’s achievement, the Air Peace Chairman noted that Obizulike’s victory extends beyond the ring, serving as a symbol of hope and possibility for Nigerian youths.
“Your victory has brought pride to Nigeria and highlights the growing influence of Nigerian athletes on the continental stage. You have become a role model to young people across the country. With focus and discipline, I believe you can take this success even further across Africa,” Dr Onyema stated.
He further emphasised that Air Peace’s support for Obizulike aligns with the airline’s broader vision of identifying, celebrating, and empowering young Nigerians who demonstrate excellence, courage, and the capacity to inspire others.
Over the years, Dr Onyema has remained a visible and consistent supporter of sports development in Nigeria. His initiatives include the sponsorship of Nigerian sports legends, the appointment of distinguished athletes as Sports Diplomacy Ambassadors, and the establishment of a Wall of Fame to permanently etch their names into the nation’s sporting history.
The Air Peace Chairman has also extended support to emerging talents, including Nigerian child prodigy and gymnastics star, Stephanie Onusiriuka, reinforcing his belief that early investment in young talent is critical to building sustainable sporting excellence.
By backing Obizulike at this pivotal stage of his career, Air Peace once again sends a powerful message to young Nigerians—that dedication, discipline, and excellence will always find recognition and support.
This latest gesture further positions Air Peace not only as an aviation leader but as a socially responsible organisation deeply committed to nurturing a confident, empowered, and globally competitive Nigerian youth population.
The David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has approached the Court of Appeal to challenge the Federal High Court judgement that removed its leadership.
The opposition party also disclosed that it had filed an application seeking a stay of execution of the judgement pending the hearing and determination of its appeal.
The party made this known in a statement on Friday, November 6, adding that it had formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the legal steps taken,
The appeal is against the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court in Abuja on November 5, 2026, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1619/2025, involving Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe and the ADC.
The party urged INEC to refrain from taking any further action on the matter until the Court of Appeal has considered the case.
It argued that the application for a stay of execution was yet to be decided and that the electoral commission should not take any step that could affect the outcome of the appeal.
According to the ADC, it expects INEC to respect the ongoing legal process and allow the appellate court to hear the matter before making any decision connected to the judgement.
The statement partly read, “The ADC is exercising its lawful right to appeal. The judgement is now being challenged before a higher court, and the legal process must be allowed to run its course.
“We expect INEC to uphold the law and take full account of the pending proceedings before making any consequential decisions.”
The party also urged its members and supporters to remain calm, insisting that the court judgement would not stop its political activities.
It said its campaigns would continue while it explored all available legal options to defend its position.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark, declaring the caretaker committee that oversaw the party’s affairs illegal and invalidating all decisions taken by the committee.
The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Peter Lifu, also affects the presidential primary that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.
Atiku, whose name had earlier been published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s presidential candidate, had already selected former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.
The ruling followed a suit instituted by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former National Deputy Chairman (North-East) of the ADC, who challenged the process through which the David Mark-led leadership assumed control of the party.
Gombe argued that following the resignation of the party’s former National Chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu, he was constitutionally entitled to take over the leadership.
He consequently asked the court to invalidate all actions undertaken by the Mark-led leadership and restrain Senator Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from presenting themselves as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
The plaintiff maintained that their emergence violated the ADC constitution and relevant provisions of the Electoral Act.
In suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, the ADC, INEC, Senator David Mark, Aregbesola and Chief Ralph Nwosu were listed as defendants.
Justice Lifu upheld Gombe’s claims and granted the reliefs sought, effectively invalidating the authority of the caretaker committee and decisions taken under its leadership.
The verdict is expected to trigger fresh political uncertainty within the ADC, particularly over Atiku’s presidential ambition and the party’s preparations for the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
However, the party has vowed to challenge the judgment at the appellate court.
