According to her, her words were said carelessly and were also twisted. She added that she can never go against her daughters’ tribes.
In her words:
“There is one thing I feel got twisted. This is the statement about the Tiv people. My daughters are Tiv. There is no way I will make a slanderous statement about their people.
“In my season, we did a play based on the Tiv, and I participated in it. It was super exciting for me. Sometimes, you say some things carelessly, and it gets misconstrued. For those that I offended, I am sorry.”
