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 Channels Television’s breakfast programme The Morning Brief on Thursday, 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, doing 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 aggressive action at a Lagos airport, warning that it could encourage similar unruly behaviour on aircraft.
Bagos further stressed the need for increased passenger sensitisation and a review of airport security procedures.
Recall that the Federal Government had on Wednesday announced the engagement of Kwam 1 as an ambassador for airport security protocol following his controversial actions at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on August 5, 2025.
The move drew criticism from Nigerians, particularly in light of the Comfort Emmanson incident, in which the passenger was accused of assaulting a flight attendant and confronting security agents on a Lagos-bound Ibom Air flight.
