“Dear Esteemed Members of the Public
I write to you today with a heavy heart, filled with regret and remorse over the events that unfolded at my movie premiere, BEAST OF TWO WORLDS “AJAKAJU,” #ajakajuthemovie on Sunday, 24th March, 2024.
“I address you all today, taking full responsibility and seeking your pardon with my deepest regrets for the distress and turmoil caused by the events surrounding the selection of Best Dressed at the premiere of “AJAKAJU.”
“First, I want to extend my sincerest apologies to the Muslim community, especially during this sacred month of Ramadan. I respect the significance of this time and did not intend to offend or upset anyone with our premiere proceedings. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any distress my actions may have caused during this sacred time.
“To the women in our society, I want to express my profound apologies. As a woman myself, I understand the importance of upholding and honoring our gender with dignity and respect.
To assure you, the utmost reverence for womanhood is held, and any behavior that diminishes or disparages the role of women in our society is not intentionally engaged in.
“I also extend my heartfelt apologies to My honorable and supportive boss Femi Adebayo @femiadebayosalami and his wife, @iyanaladuke and @dayoamusa for the undue backlash they faced as a result of the announcement made at our event. I deeply regret the insults and disrespect directed towards them, and I take full responsibility for any harm caused.
“To Bobrisky @bobrisky222 I offer my sincere apologies for putting you in a difficult position. We didn’t intend to cause harm or controversy by awarding you, but rather tried to generate publicity for our movie. I am truly sorry for any distress this may have caused you.
“In an effort to make amends and correct my mistakes, I have decided to honour two females, Bode Alao and one other beautiful woman as the best-dressed females at the premiere. Each will receive N1,000,000 as a token of my sincere apology and appreciation for their grace.
