As an aftermath to singer, Naira Marley‘s ‘rule-breaking’ concert that took place in Abuja late Saturday, another scene has entered into the tape of events. On Twitter, a cross-trend between Naira Marley and Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, is currently getting everyone to talk. This follows a statement released by Executive Jets Services Limited after the sanction they received from the Federal Government.
Many Nigerians are reacting to the claims by the company that said they had mistaken Naira Marley to be Minister Babatunde Fashola.
Wait, They really said they mistook Naira Marley for Babatunde Fashola?

Excutive jets said they thought Naira marley was Babatunde fashola, reason they flew him to Abuja together with Kim oprah. My question is, Did Naira marley looks like Fashola??

As it appears, the duo have similar names which may (or not) pass off as confusing – While the minister is fully known as ‘Babatunde Raji Fashola,’ Naira Marley is fully known as Azeez Fashola. The manifest released by the Jet Company showed clearly that an ‘Azeez Fashola’ was not present on board, but a ‘Babatunde Fashola’ was.
Apparently, this is how Naira Marley got to Abuja. But, is Naira Marley's name Babatunde Fashola? Isn't this impersonation? pic.twitter.com/vxhYEUsEA4

Reacting to the information shared, some people have stressed that Naira Marley could be facing charges for ‘impersonation.’ However, his fans are not having it.
I was wondering how Naira Marley got to Abuja. It all makes sense now. Breaking lockdown orders were not enough. It seems he also went ahead to impersonate BABATUNDE Fashola. If this is true, then I hope this is escalated to the extent of its severity. pic.twitter.com/aD2wwruEhg

My own is…the guys at execujet saw the name Babatunde Fashola….they looked up at the “useless people” and thought. Yea…that must be the minister and his Aides…the only way it makes sense is that those behind the desk were Marlians and they saw their president ???

Some people, however, shared that there is a ploy and both parties are aware of what is going on as they pointed out that both Naira Marley and the Jets services are in on the plans to host the concert which they didn’t know will escalate to this point. These ones called for justice to take its full course on both parties as they urged the government to charge Naira Marley and the Jet service.
Whenever a deal goes wrong they cook up all manner of stories and muddle the waters so everything looks confusing. The explanations for this Babatunde Fashola/Naira Marley Abuja flight now raises more questions than before. Cover ups. Lies. Deliberate diversion. Not surprised.

The letter from the aviation company which flew Naira Marley to abuja is so unprofessional. How will you say you thought it was the honorable minister Babatunde Fashola??

Executive Jets is proof that no matter how much you pay people, when yawa gas dem go deny you ? Naira Marley and Kim Oprah don turn bunch of useless people ?

The way everyone jumps to conclusion on Twitter without proper findings is sickening.
Naira Marley’s full name is Fashola Azeez Adeshina (No.3 on the list)
His Brother’s name is Babatunde Fashola. (No.7 on the list)
Remove impersonation from his crime. pic.twitter.com/lhe4fk3MqY

Executive Jets throwing Naira Marley and Kim Oprah under the bus then calling them a bunch of useless people is the comedy I needed to start my day?

Other Twitter users and fans of the singer also defended the singer as they pointed out impersonation should be out of the question, reminding everyone that Babatunde Fashola is the name of Naira Marley’s brother and he wasn’t trying to impersonate the minister. LOL

Naira Marley, in all of this, is yet to say a word in reaction to all that is going on around him as fans have clearly expressed that they look forward to hearing from him. Will he be punished this time?
