She wrote:
“First, I voted Tinubu because he is my choice. As a Nigerian, I have a right to that choice. I have NEVER EVER collected or benefited from this government. Everyone who has cursed me, based on an assumption that I am ‘chopping, I have told God to return the curse upon their lives and children.
“I am a woman of grace. God has blessed generations through my hands. So every silent prayer I have with God comes to pass. If I have an opinion, I should not be judged simply because I work for TVC. There are plenty Obidients that work in TVC and earn their salaries. No one bothers them.”
