Controversial Nigerian influencer Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, widely known as Blessing CEO, has apologised to Nigerians over the backlash surrounding her health claims, while insisting she did not deceive the public.
The apology follows widespread criticism over her earlier announcement that she was battling stage 4 cancer and her subsequent appeal for financial assistance.
In a video shared on her official Instagram page on Monday, the self-acclaimed relationship expert expressed regret over the confusion and public reaction her situation has generated.
“Hey guys. My name is Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO.
I want to start by saying I am sorry, very sorry to my loved ones, fans, well-wishers, and to all Nigerians,” she said.
Addressing the controversy, she added, “I am sorry for the unnecessary drama, embarrassment, and controversy surrounding my health issues. I want to genuinely apologize, I am sorry. Going forward, I will carry you all along, just like I carried you all during my liposuction and BBL journey.”
Blessing CEO maintained that her claims about her health condition were truthful and assured the public that she would begin releasing medical evidence to support her position.
