Kwam 1 Ambassadorship Will Encourage Misconduct At Airports — Ex-Lawmaker

A former member of the House of Representatives, Dachung Bagos, has criticised the Federal Government’s decision to engage Fuji musician Wasiu Marshal, popularly known as Kwam 1, as an ambassador for airport security protocols.

Bagos, who spoke as a guest on a Television breakfast programme, warned that the move could set an unpleasant precedent.

“With all the drama, now he is an ambassador, meaning everybody will start moving with the flask, do drama to become an ambassador.

“No matter the explanation, the perception of Nigerians is that it is entirely wrong,” he said.

Bagos also criticised the consideration of an Ibom Air passenger Comfort Emmanson as an ambassador despite her aggresive action at a Lagos airport, warning that it could encourage similar unruly behaviour on aircraft.

“And going to Kwam 2 (Emmanson) as well with what happened, the eyewitness account, and all the drama.

“If at the end of the day, she is an ambassador, the negative perception is clear, and at the end of the day, this person is now an ambassador, meaning everybody will start misbehaving on aircraft so that you will be an ambassador at the end of the day.
