'I am a die-hard fan of Jonathan' - sprinter Blessing Okagbare says

Reigning African queen of the track, Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor has declared that she holds no grudge against the re-election bid of president Jonathan.

Last week, Okagbare expressed sadness over the use of her image and footage by a body said to be working for Jonathan without seeking her consent.

But the Commonwealth Games double medallist spoke again from her base in LA yesterday, saying: “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.


However, Okagbare stood her ground that the decision by GoodHouse Nigeria to use her image and footage in advertorial 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.”

Okabgare had stated last week that it was ‘selfish and disrespectful’ for anyone to intrude into her privacy by using her image, footage for a presidential campaign without seeking her approval.

  23. This is wht I call "double edge tongue". U r speaking dis and acting d other way round. She said " 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." With dis statement she is not acting lik a die hard fan of GEJ.

    Pls let d truth b told mayb she is right YEAH SHE IS but wht use is d criticism of using her image and all dat or mayb she want sth in return bcos if she was asked dat wil hav b d issue.

    Everybody wants a piece of d cake dat is d bone of contention here and let her stop fooling hersef wit her double edge tongue.

  24. You spoke and your statement was obvious, stop bringing opposition into it.
    What is thee to twist, that you said they didn't sought for your approval before using your picture to campaign for someone whose die-hard fan you claim to be.

  37. Yes, she's right, they should have sought her approval but I'm glad she came out to correct peoples misconception of her previous complaint. You can get angry about a situation. It doesn't necessarily mean you are against or hate the people directly or indirectly involved. Vote Goodluck Ebele Jonathan !! . ----C21

  40. Nigeria will never change with their piracy ... Can you imagine!
    There is possibility the person would have been paid to approach the lady and seek her consent or pay her for it but instead pocket the money like a Nigeria Bad Boy or Girl at the same time they might have just took it out of the fact that is for the people on top... like usual... you know Nigeria Power.

  64. Many people are supporting Jonathan for no good reason but because of hatred for Buhari . These same people will be ashamed of their support by the end of his tenure,be it 2015 or 2019. You are there in Los Angeles. where there is light road, hospital yet you are die hard fan of a failure

  72. Okagbare, why are you complaining? You are a die-hard fan of someone and you mentioned that he has inspired you and brought many changes to sport in Nigeria. We means you have benefited from his benevolence to Nigeria sport. Pls don't complain..............

  79. Nigerians sha, is it not this same Okagbare lambasting GEJ govt last week. GEJ has suddenly become a good leader, when olive branch of dollar has been extended to Blessing in LA.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Way before the campaign or election period she has always been a supporter of GEJ and she has never hidden it cow like she said he has inspired a lot of sports men and women, check the history of Nigeria, in the area of sports no one has done better than GEJ, no one has been this accessible to the president through the sports ministry,this current minister has been fantastic and so has GEJ, everything is not about money,Renew your minds!

  81. Apc master of fabricating and twisting information, feeding people with lies. Thank GOD tha sometime we have a good source of information. You didn't succeed in buying the whole press and media like you did to all of the others. GEJ helped sports and entertainment very well

  83. People's choice if I hear.

  84. #smh - that's because she's lucky. there are loads of others that aren't as lucky as she is. since GEJ has done a lot in Nigeria, she should come back home and train here and base here. she's there enjoying power, sports facilities, best health care, etc.

    #smh – desperados - Trained Snipers (OBJ talked about this) to assassinate opposition during violence that will ensure after GEJ loses? There is also evidence that he (Tinubu) was invited to be part of the Interim Government as a way of dividing us as a prominent member of our party. There is absolutely nothing they cannot do to distract us because they could see that the Presidency is slipping off their hands.

  86. Come to think of it that I hailed her courage to speak out not knowing she was shouting so she too can receive her own envelope. We don't even know who is who again as it seems anybody is capable of speaking from both sides of their mouth.

  88. She has obviously been settled to speak the praise of GEJ. Her initial reaction wasn't bcos of any party and she managed to pass the message across. So Why is she now referring to parties and saying she's a fan of GEJ. Something is not right. She was paid to come back to say this. This is all politics. Foolish girl. GEJ supporters, I pray God rules your lives same way GEJ has ruled this country on the last 6 years. Amen
