Folorunso added that he didn't see Igbo but Nigeria in the dressing and commended the country for scoring a good goal through Air Peace's feat.

He promised to patronise Air Peace should he have a reason to travel to London. His letter read:

"Dear Air Peace,
"Regarding this outfit, I am with you 100%. If any of my Yoruba brothers/sisters or Hausa-Fulani people do not like the dressing, they should do us a favor by establishing an aviation company that will fly the same route, where their crew would wear Agbada and Babaringa. As for me, I didn’t see Igbo in the dressing. All I see is Nigeria; we have just scored a good goal.
"In fact, kindly feel free to serve me Igbo dishes if you can. Should I have any reason to fly LON-LOS anytime soon, I shall be flying with you. Thank you and God bless you!"
