The Chairman and Chief executive officer of ExecuJet, Sam Iwuajuoku, has apologized to the Minister of Aviation for using his chattered Flight to convey Naira Marley to the concert venue from Lagos to Abuja on June 12, 2020, claiming that he was misled and tricked into carrying “a bunch of useless people” to Abuja.
In a letter that is widely circulated on social media, the ExecuJet boss said that the Judge he was meant to carry to Abuja when contacted, said he was already in Abuja. then his staff brought documents to him saying that Minister Housing Babatunde Fashola wants to fly to Abuja. Since he already has an approval to fly to Abuja, he approved the flight plan to Abuja not knowing that he was carrying a bunch of “useless people”.
By useless people, he apparently meant Naira Marley and BBN housemate, Opara.
“On Saturday morning, my staff called me that they had a charter flight to Abuja and that the passengers were already in the lounge. As a rule, the 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 Honourable Minister of Works going to Abuja with his men, so we decided to do the flight since he is a serving minister of the country. I didn’t 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,” he said.
