Nigerian actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande has refuted allegations of an affair with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, following a viral report that listed her among several female celebrities allegedly involved with him.
The report, which surfaced on Sunday, claimed that Dakore was one of Akpabio’s “side chicks.” However, in a statement posted on her official Instagram page on Monday, the actress categorically denied the allegations, stating that she had never even met Akpabio before.
“I saw text messages and calls this morning, alerting me to a very wicked lie from the pit of hell. I must say that I’m very disappointed, shocked and appalled. And I want to categorically state that I have never ever met the Senate president in my life.
“I have not had any cause to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being his side chick. I’m happily married with two beautiful children. So for a jobless, wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and unfounded.
“It is a lie and I am ready for any legal action because, at this point, you have messed with the wrong person. I keep to myself, mind my business, I drink water and I do my work. So for someone to want to tarnish my hard-earned name and image for some clicks, no way.
“I’m not going to accept it or going to be quiet about it. I want to put it out there. Anyone who can provide video or audio evidence that I have been with this man, I would give you N5 million right now”.
