Reigning African queen of the track, Blessing
Okagbare-Ighoteguonor has declared that she holds
no grudge against the re-election bid of president
Jonathan.
Last week, Okagbare expressed sadness over the
use of her image and footage by a body said to be
working for Jonathan without seeking her consent.
But the Commonwealth Games double medallist
spoke again from her base in LA yesterday, saying:
“I heard that some opposition parties are using that
against Jonathan’s campaign. It shouldn’t be so. I
don’t want anyone or opposition parties to get it
twisted. I am a die hard fan of the president. He has
inspired me so much and I appreciate everything
and the changes he brought into Nigerian sports.
However, Okagbare stood her ground that the
decision by GoodHouse Nigeria to use her image
and footage in advertorial without seeking her
consent was wrong.
“Like I said, I am in support of Jonathan’s re-
election bid, But I want to say that what Good
House Nigeria did in that advertorial by using my
image and footage without seeking my consent was
totally wrong and unprofessional.”
Okabgare had stated last week that it was ‘selfish
and disrespectful’ for anyone to intrude into her
privacy by using her image, footage for a
presidential campaign without seeking her approval.
