Tracy Ohiri, the woman who recently alleged that the Minister of Works, David Umahi, owes her money, has recanted her earlier statements and apologised to him.
She made a U-turn in a now-viral video currently circulating on several social media platforms.
According to Ohiri, she had no direct dealings with the construction company, Nella Engineers, and the minister did not invite her to Ebonyi State.
She also denied accusing Umahi of “tying a wrapper” while visiting her hotel room, stressing that she was “quoted out of context”.

She went on to express regret over the controversy generated by her claims and apologised to the minister and his family for any embarrassment caused.
Ohiri said, “I apologise for the confusion and embarrassment these allegations have caused him and his family.”
She further claimed that after consulting with her family, she has decided to put the events of the past week behind her and seek peace.
”I never said David Umahi tied a wrapper to meet me in a hotel room. After proper consultation with my family and a painstaking review of the events of last week, I have come to the conclusion that it’s important that we give peace a chance.
“I apologise to Minister Umahi for the embarrassment this allegation may have caused him and his family,” she added.
