Nollywood Actor, Ejike Asiegbu has tendered a heartfelt apology following a controversial video that slammed the administration of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.

This was after actress Uche Nnanna released a video blasting the governor over the severe power outage at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport.
In the video, she captured the bleak pitch black scenery of the airport's arrival terminal while lamenting on the dire situation passengers go through to collect their luggages as they are forced to go outside due to the complete lack of lightning in the baggage claim area.

In the video, the actors spotted include Ejike Asiegbu, Fred Amata, Gloria Nobert Young, Grace Amah, amongst others who were on a visit to the state for an event hosted by Lucky Ejike Chukwu, a former African Democratic Congress(ADC) governorship candidate in the 2019 elections.

In response to the uproar, the chief press secretary to Governor, Ogwuike Nwachukwu penned a newspaper article tagging actress Uche Nnanna's comments as a deliberate ploy to insult the Governor.
Countering his claims, actor Ejike Asiegbu in a statement released online issued an apology for the "scandalous" video, while pleading on behalf of his colleagues.
In his statement....
"I most respectfully apologise on behalf of my colleague Uchenna Maduka to my friend, brother, elder stateman, and governor, His Excellency, Chief Dr.Hope Uzodimma for the embarrassment this video may have caused him.
While I do not come from Imo state, I am married to a wonderful and loving wife from Imo state.Besides, we Abia State people were part of the old Imo state and so would always want the very best for Imo state and it's people because we are all brothers and sisters.

Let state for the records that we are men and women of honor and integrity.We are not swayed by apples and carrots as Mr.Oguwike has maliciously adduced".
