It is disheartening that while many well-meaning Nigerians
have stepped in to intervene in the face-off between music superstar Mr David
Adeleke, aka Davido, and the mother of his baby Ms Sophia Momodu, my cousin, a
senior citizen and film-maker, Dr Ola Balogun, has chosen to cast aspersions on
me for reasons best known to both of us.
In a well-circulated comment he made in newspapers and on
social media, Wednesday January 6, 2016, Dr Balogun maliciously attacked Sophia
and I without caring to find out what led to the present debacle.
I had the highest regards for Dr Balogun and had always
responded to his calls and text messages to my London line most times. I wish
to apologize to him publicly if I have not been able to attend to his certain
demands but it is regrettable that he would retaliate through this vengeful
manner.
Though I bear the same title of Bashorun with my late mentor
Chief Moshood Abiola, I'm just an ordinary journalist of very modest means. Let
me assure Dr Balogun that elders like him have brokered peace between the
families and by the grace of God we should have good news sooner than later.
Dr Balogun should please bury whatever animosity he has against me and
join others in reconciling the families instead of pouring petrol into the
conflagration...
