Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star, Ikechukwu Sunday Okonkwo better known as Cross has publicly apologised for tagging the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi a selfish man.
He tendered the now viral apology during a recent Instagram live chat with his fans, insisting he was misconstrued.
According to Cross, the purported video where he made the statement about Peter Obi was not fully played because it was cut into half by the device which hosted it.
He said: “Honestly guys I just want to say I am sorry, a lot of people got misconception about me. I am actually sorry for calling Peter Obi selfish. It was a long video and you know sometimes the media, they decided to cut half of it. It was a long video and I was trying to ask some questions about some certain things but they only cut that part, sorry.”
