"Our president dey here," an excited passenger remarked in the background.
"Your excellency, we want to snap with you,'' another person appealed with joy in the background.
Efforts by a flight attendant to restore normalcy proved abortive as people hailed Peter. Peter, all smiles, had to leave his seat and would return to it later on.
Someone even begged him to address the passengers.
