Reigning African queen of the track, Blessing Okagbare, has expressed sadness over the use of her image and footage by a body said to be working for one of the political parties without seeking her concept.
In an advertorial by GoodHouse Nigeria tagged GEJ Okagbare, which she said had been running on various electronic media in Nigeria and also on https://youtu.be/rf7A0HuPPa8, the athlete said 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.
Okagbare who spoke from her base in Los Angeles, USA, yesterday said her attention was drawn to the advertorial by friends and relatives in Nigeria about two months ago saying: “I just wanted to be patient at first, but my agent is not happy because he thinks I am a woman and very far from home too.
“Someone out there is using my image, footage and everything I have worked for to make money through advert and campaign without seeking my approval.
