‘I’m sorry’ – Okpebholo’s aide apologises, retracts comment against Davido

Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Edo State Governor, Mr Kassy Chukwu, has issued an apology to Nigerian music star Davido for his controversial remarks barring the singer from performing in the state. Chukwu's statement, made in a video posted on X on Saturday, also expressed regret to the people of Edo State, clarifying that his initial comments were personal and not authorized by the governor.

The apology came after Chukwu took offense at comments attributed to Davido regarding the governor and his children. He explained that he posted the video as a personal matter, without any government approval or request. Chukwu extended his apology directly to Okpebholo, acknowledging that his remarks could have caused embarrassment to the governor.

This incident followed the release of a video by Chukwu warning Davido that he was banned from entering Edo State. However, the Edo State Government swiftly disavowed this statement.
