Nigerian celebrities, especially Nollywood actors will be remembered for their active role in this year’s general election – from closed door meetings with president Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, to campaigns via rallies and even on social media.
However, we just found that one of such meetings (with the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan) ended in a rift.
During a meeting with Nollywood practitioners in Enugu last Thursday, the First Lady reportedly gave out a N3million gift to the industry.
Sun Newspaper reports that trouble started after the departure of the First Lady when facilitators of the rally, Patience Ozokwor and Chinyere Wilfred were on stage giving the vote of thanks.
However, Steve Eboh has denied ever being involved in such a show of shame. He told Entertainer:
“I never had anything to do with any money or anything like that. Don’t mind them, my brother. As I speak with you now, I am on my way to see Father Ede in Elele, Rivers State.”
Patience Ozokwor popularly known as Mama G however confirmed the story but she wouldn’t want to elaborate further, until after the elections.
