That ailing Nollywood actor Leo Mezie and his colleague, Chioma Okoye, founder of Purple Ribbon Care Foundation which flagged off a ‘N1000 Campaign initiative’ to raise money for his kidney transplant are fighting is an established fact.
Trouble started when the actor ordered that all the monies realized from the campaign be credited into his personal account which did not go down well with the actress, Chioma Okoye.
However, in his reaction to the rift, Leo said; “I have a problem with my former fundraiser, Chioma Okoye of Purple Ribbon Care Foundation. I don’t even intend to talk about it because my family and AGN have asked me to focus on my health.”
“The misunderstanding began when AGN told Okoye to pay whatever money was raised directly to my account so that I can have access to the funds. But she refused to pay the monies into my personal account.”
“Since I dissociated myself from her and funds are being transferred to my personal account, I have been able to attend to my medical needs faster. However, AGN first intervened by giving me some money to buy drugs.”
