Mr Kassy Chukwu, the Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, has apologised to Nigerian music star, Davido over his controversial remarks barring the singer from performing in the state.
In a video posted on X, Saturday, Chukwu also apologised to the people of Edo State, stating that his earlier remarks were made in his personal capacity and without the permission of the state governor.
According to the governor’s aide, he made the initial video after taking offence at comments attributed to Davido concerning the governor and his children.
“I didn’t do that video as an appointee of the government, and I didn’t do that video on the instruction or with 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 statement that the governor’s children should be ashamed of their father,” he said.
Chukwu equally apologised directly to Okpebholo, saying his remarks may have caused embarrassment to the governor.
Recall that the governor’s aide had made a video that circulated online, warning that Davido was banned from entering Edo State.
However, the Edo State Government, in a swift response, disowned the statement.
