Pearl Chidinma Ogbolu, the Erelu Okin of Orile Kemta, whose party in Lagos witnessed petrol souvenir, has spoken on the controversy.

Kegs of fuel bearing โ€˜Erelu Okin Foundation Installation Partyโ€™ stickers were shared at the ceremony.

The footage triggered anger that got the authoritiesโ€™ attention. Many complained that risks and the pains of Nigerians suffering fuel scarcity were ignored.

Popular Fuji artiste, Malaika performed at the high-profile ceremony attended by many socialites.

Ogbolu, in an Instagram post, apologized for the โ€œmomentarily indiscretion of bringing fuel into the hallโ€.

โ€œI have paused to reflect and truly apologise and I thank you all for your understanding and criticismsโ€, she wrote.
