The Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, Apostle Kassy Chukwu, has apologised to singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and the people of Edo State over comments he made suggesting the singer should not expect to perform in the state during the governor’s tenure.
Chukwu, in a video posted by THEWILL NEWSPAPER via X.com on Saturday, said the earlier comments were made in his personal capacity and did not represent the position of the Edo State Government or Okpebholo.
“I didn’t do that video as an appointee of the government and I didn’t do that video by the instruction of the governor of Edo State or by the permission of the governor of Edo State. I did that video in my personal capacity as a son of the governor who was offended by the video statement that the governor’s children should be ashamed of their father,” he said.
The aide apologised specifically to Okpebholo for any embarrassment his comments might have caused the governor, describing him as a leader who abhors violence.
