Since the dissolution of the company Air Guinée which at the time had 3 planes including 2 large planes bought by a Nigerian and the last bought by Elhadj Mamadou Sylla for a value of 5 million US dollars, the story always comes to the fore. the stage with the name of the President of the UFDG, Cellou Dalein Diallo, former Prime Minister and Minister of Transport of Lansana Conté.
Yesterday Thursday, April 25, 2024, on the occasion of the official release of the book “man and his destiny, economic aspect” by Elhadj Mamadou Sylla, president of the UGD party and extremely wealthy businessman, at the Franco-Guinean Cultural Center ( CCFG), the writer took advantage of the opportunity to recall a little the liquidation of Air Guinée which has caused a lot of ink and saliva to flow since the CNRD took power.
According to Elhadj Mamadou Sylla “there were 147 state companies and Air Guinée is one of them. Why there is too much noise in the Air Guinée affair, I don’t know it was to politicize simply because there were many companies (…) With the Air Guinée company there were 3 large planes at total including 2 large planes and I bought the small one. It was a lady from Nigeria who came to buy the 2 Boeings there, the biggest, the newest, she left with them. But as she is not Guinean, no one talks about these planes. Why do we say the plane that a Guinean bought with pride, instead of being proud and then people start to cling to that, it’s really difficult,” he said in his speech for the occasion.
Continuing, the former president of Guinean employers added this: “When people say that I bought Air Guinée, no. Air Guinée is not purchased, the company is like a company, which was dissolved by decree, so we can no longer talk about the name there. So out of patriotism I created Air Guinée Express, a private company. So even though I bought the plane, I wanted us to talk about Guinea. But people don’t ask the reality, what exactly happened. Everyone says what they want to say,” suggested the Ambassador of Conakry, the African book capital, who now has 2 books signed and another being written.
