He acknowledged that sharing the news was a deeply personal matter but explained his decision to speak out.
“I would grant a press release soon to say my story… not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life, but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offence. Stay blessed, my people. I love you all,” he concluded.
