Actor Ejike Asiegbu apologises over video shaming Uzodinma for power outage at Imo aiport
Ejike Asiegbu, an ace actor, has apologised for a video
calling out the administration of Hope Uzodinma, Imo governor.
Recently, Uche Nnanna-Maduka, an actress, made a video
criticising the governor for a power outage at the Sam Mbakwe International
Cargo Airport in Imo.
In the two-minute footage, Nnanna-Maduka made
hard-hitting remarks about Uzodinma’s administration and openly shamed the
state.
Capturing the dark scenery at the arrival terminal, she
lamented that baggage claim on touchdown had to be done outdoors as a result.
