“I was manipulated to say AGN didn’t help my husband”- Mr Ibu’s wife makes U-turn, apologizes to AGN

Stella Maris, the wife of veteran actor Mr. Ibu has made a significant U-turn regarding her earlier claims about the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).

Stella initially accused the AGN of not supporting her husband during his battles with diabetes complications. 

However, in a recent podcast with the controversial media personality Uche Maduagwu, she retracted these statements and tendered a public apology to the AGN.

During the candid conversation, she admitted that her previous accusations were unfounded and a result of manipulation. She expressed regret for any offense her comments may have caused, emphasizing that she had no intention of disparaging the AGN or anyone associated with it. 

In fact, she acknowledged that several people, including actress Kate Henshaw, had shown support by visiting the hospital when Mr. Ibu was critically ill. She further mentioned that as Mr. Ibu was still rather talkative at the time, he and Henshaw talked and joked around. Stella, however, did not share how she was manipulated and by whom.

Watch her speak here.

This comes shortly after she was accused of being insensitive to her husband’s situation, and trying to spend the donations made towards her husband’s health condition.

Mr. Ibu’s health struggles has been a topic of public concern, particularly following the amputation of his leg due to complications from diabetes. This personal health battle has been a source of sympathy and support from fans and colleagues alike.
