Nollywood Veteran, Asiegbu, Apologises To Uzodimma Over Scandalous Video

Mr. Ejike Asiegbu, a Nollywood veteran, has apologised to Governor Hope Uzodimma on behalf of his colleagues for the recent scandalous video recording at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, which has long gone viral.

The video, which featured the faces of Mr. Asiegbu, Fred Amata, Keppy Ekpenyong, Gloria Nobert Young, Grace Amah, and Uche Nnanna-Maduka and was hosted by the latter, portrayed the Governor as responsible for the power outage at the airport’s arrival lounge when the actors and actresses arrived about a fortnight ago for an event in Imo State’s Ohaji Egbema area.

In the video, Uche Nnanna-Maduka also disparaged Governor Uzodimma and his government, as well as the administration of his Party at the national level.

In a veiled response to the public outrage sparked by the video, Asiegbu not only apologised for his colleague’s actions but also urged Governor Uzodimma to find a place in his heart to forgive them.

He wrote: “I most respectfully apologise on behalf of my colleague Uchenna Maduka to my friend, brother, elder statesman, and Governor, His Excellency, Chief Dr Hope Uzodimma, for any embarrassment this video may have caused him.

While I am not from Imo State, I am married to a wonderful and loving Imo State native. Furthermore, because we were all brothers and sisters in the old Imo State, we always wanted the best for Imo State and its people.

” Let me state for the record that we are men and women of honour and integrity who will not be swayed by apples and carrots, as Mr Oguwike has maliciously adduced, and it is a testament to unsubstantiated claims to give a dog a bad name simply by hanging it.

Earlier, in a message to a colleague in Governor Uzodimma’s administration, Mr Asiegbu distanced himself from Uche Nnanna-Maduka’s video recording.

He said, “Tell His Excellency that I apologise for not being aware of this until you brought it to my attention.” However, there is no need to exacerbate the situation.
