Minister
of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has lambasted private aircraft
charter operator, Executive Jet Services, for linking him to the flight which
took singer, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, to Abuja over the weekend.
The
singer, alongside ex-Big Brother Naija housemate, Kim Oprah, and eight others
boarded the company’s flight in violation of travel ban which resulted in the
suspension of the firm’s licence by the Federal Government on Monday.
After
the federal government suspended the airline, the Chairman/CEO of the company,
Sam Iwuajoku, wrote in a letter dated June 15 and addressed to the Minister of
Aviation, Hadi Sirika, to apologise for the violation, saying he thought the
flight was booked for the minister.
However,
Fashola, in a statement on Tuesday by his spokesman, Hakeem Bello, said it was
‘ridiculous’ to link him to the flight.
