Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, has hit back at Executive Jets Services Limited for referring to him and his team “a bunch of useless people”.
The airline has come under criticism for flying the Soapy crooner to Abuja for a concert despite the upsurge of the COVID-19 cases in the country.
Due to the backlash that trailed the event, the federal capital territory administration(FCTA) sealed off the Jabi Lake mall that hosted the signer for violating the social distancing rules and subsequently placed a ban on the airline.
But the airline in an apology letter to the minister of aviation, Hadi Sirika described the incident as a mix up of identity.
In a statement signed by the company’s chairman, said that his team thought it was Babatunde Fashola, minister fo work and housing that wanted to use the flight not knowing that “it was a bunch of useless people”.
Reacting to the statement in a post on his Twitter page, the singer born, Azeez Fashola , tackled the airline for calling him and his team of “20,000 marlians ” a bunch of “useless people”
The singer went on to vow that he and his team would not be using the services of the airline again, adding that it wasn’t a smooth flight that they nearly had a crash.
“Do you know that over 20,000 Marlians travel with Executive Jet a month. We won’t be using your useless airline again for calling us useless,” he wrote on Twitter.
