The apology follows weeks of tension during which medical associations and observers questioned the validity of her reports.
During the height of the controversy, the influencer reportedly de-activated her social media accounts as critics and medical bodies, including the Delta State branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), flagged inconsistencies in her story.
Now back online, she revealed that the public had contributed a total of ₦13 million toward her treatment.
To address allegations of financial impropriety, she stated that any well-meaning Nigerian who contributed but now feels misled can request a full reimbursement by providing their account details and evidence of the transaction.
Despite the skepticism, Blessing CEO insists her health challenges are real. She pledged to lead her followers through the diagnostic process with the same transparency she applied during her well-documented cosmetic surgery journeys.
She asked for patience as she prepares to release verified biopsy and scan results, asserting that she wants to set the record straight and move past the controversy.
The influencer’s reputation has taken a significant hit, with survivors of actual cancer and legal advocates calling for accountability.
By offering refunds and promising verified medical proof, Blessing CEO is attempting to mitigate the fallout from a scandal that has captivated the Nigerian digital space.
Her final message expressed gratitude for those who offered love and well wishes, while emphasizing that she intends to prove her integrity through upcoming medical disclosures.
