Nigerian afropop sensation, Azeez Adeshina Fashola has slammed Nigerian airline, Executive Jets for labelling him and BBNaija star, Kim Oprah ‘bunch of useless people’.
It could be recalled Naira Marley was reported to have flaunted lockdown order after he was seen in a video performing in a show hosted by PR firm, Play Network Africa in Abuja over the weekend.
Moreover, the firm had earlier signed Big Brother Naija star, Kim Oprah in 2019 as its brand ambassador, so, Kim was officially made to travel to Abuja alongside Naira Marley.
Haven seen the trending video online, Federal Government vowed to sanction Executive Jets, Naira Marley and everyone involved in the show for flaunting the mandatory lockdown order which hasn’t been fully lifted.
In a defense statement signed by Chairman and CEO, Dr Sam Iwuajoku, the airline company expressed its regrets over flying Naira Marley and his crew to Abuja. Matter of fact, it noted that the company assumed he was Babatunde Fashola, the honourable Minister of Works after seeing the name on the manifest while mistaking Naira Marley’s name, Azeez Fashola.
The statement reads; “LTD TO ABUJA permit ref: We hereby apologize for the above flight, with your FMA/ATMD/0175/V/V/ 1268 dated 11th June, 2020. Please the flight was to carry a Judge to Abuja on Sunday 14th, 2020 as requested and permit was granted based on the application, but unfortunately when I called the Judge on Saturday morning to inform him that we have the permit, he then said that he has reached Abuja already with a different fight that someone gave him a lift to Abuja.
“So on Saturday morning 13th June, 2020 my staff called me that they have a charter flight to Abuja and that the passengers are already in the lounge as a rule passenger manifest is always sent to me before any departure, when I went through the manifest and I saw FASHOLA BABATUNDE I thought it was the Honorable Minister of Works going to Abuja with his men, so we decided to do the flight since is a serving minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I didnt know that it was a bunch of useless people.
“We are very sorry for this mistake and we promise that this would not happen again. Kindly see attached Passenger Manifest for the flight. Thank you for your understanding.”
Following the official statement by Executive Jets, Naira Marley took to his Twitter page to call out the airline company for disrespecting his personality and calling him and crew useless people. He also stated that he and his crew as well as fans (Marlians) won’t be boarding the plane anymore.
His tweets read; “Lool they asked for our names on the jet though and looooooooool ur pilot is a Marlian and everybody there is a Marlian too.. my name is Azeez Adeshina Fashola and my lil brothers name is moshood babatunde fashola and u was begging me to tag y’all
“Do u know that over 20,000 Marlians travel with executive jet a month. We won’t be using ur useless airline again for calling us useless. Thank God we didn’t crash on that flight sha because we nearly did. BTW We didn’t book the flight ourselves. Shey Marlians President no plenty for your ears ni?
“The cost of living working-class/middle-class is too high. The fact that the Almighty has blessed you, shouldn’t make u look down on anyone! Mr executive jet calling us useless is not only defamation but oppressive. The statement by the CEO is arrogant and silly. #NobodyIsUseless”
