Nigerian sprinter, Blessing Okagbare has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan, just a few days after claiming he unlawfully used her image in on of his campaign videos.
Speaking from her base in Los Angeles, the athlete claims she “holds no grudge against the re-election bid of president Jonathan”.
“I heard that some opposition parties are using that against Jonathan’s campaign. It shouldn’t be so. I don’t want anyone or opposition parties to get it twisted. I am a die hard fan of the president. He has inspired me so much and I appreciate everything and the changes he brought into Nigerian sports.
She however insisted that the use of her image and footage in an advertorial for the president without seeking her consent was wrong.
“Like I said, I am in support of Jonathan’s re-election bid, But I want to say that what Good House Nigeria did in that advertorial by using my image and footage without seeking my consent was totally wrong and unprofessional.”
