Blessing Okagbare who

recently scolded the campaign team of President Goodluck Jonathan for unlawful
use of her image and footage in an advertorial for his re-election campaigns
seems to have taken back her words.
The African track queen
initially complained of lack of support from the government, and said that,
“Now, I am here struggling on my own to pay my coach, nutritionist, doctor
and others to make sure I am in good shape for the All African Games and the
IAAF World Championship in Beijing, China.”

It however appears that
many waters might have passed under the bridge as Okagbare recently expressed
her die hard love for the president. She further praised him for his immense
contribution to Nigeria sports but maintained that the unlawful usage of her
image and footage remains unpardonable.

In her words, “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.

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.”
