Self-proclaimed relationship and mental health expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has insisted she owes no one an apology over her controversial breast cancer disclosure.
Okoro made the remarks in an interview with social media influencer Egungun of Lagos, posted on Saturday, where she also denied claims of a stage four diagnosis and admitted raising only N13m, not the N100m widely reported, in public donations.
“For what? Who did I hurt?” she said when asked to apologise to people who felt misled by her stage four claim.
“I think I’m not a doctor and maybe I just passed the message that a doctor gave to me.”
She also attributed the stage four claim to a possible miscommunication. “Maybe it’s miscommunication because that was what I was told, but I’m also trying to, when you do your biopsy, I want to have different options and be sure of what I’m doing,” she said.
Okoro said she was yet to receive a definitive cancer stage assessment from her oncologist.
“I don’t know the stage I am right now because I’ve run all the tests. In a few days’ time I’ll go back to my oncologist and they will be able to tell me the exact stage,” she said.
