The actor has now apologised to Thaddeus Attah as well as those who were offended with his post in a video message which was updated on his Instagram page.
“In the early hours of today, in the spirit of the season, I wrote an open letter to the HOR-elect of Eti-Osa Local Government area, Mr. Thaddeus Attah. I admit I could have chosen better words and I could have not allowed the frustration that I have felt about this past week to affect the message that I was trying to pass across. So I apologize to Mr. Attah and everyone who felt I was overreaching. I would now try to focus on the core of what I am saying so it’s clear and can’t be misconstrued in any way. I live in Eti-Osa”. Deyemi said.
