Debbie Shokoya, the Nollywood actress, has publicly apologized to her colleague, Kemity, for failing to attend her event.
In a message shared on her Instagram page Debbie explained that she had planned to be at the event but was held back by duties at home, especially matters involving her mother.
She wrote that this was not the first time she had promised to attend and still could not make it, which made the situation more painful for her.
Debbie said she woke up feeling troubled about her absence and kept thinking about why it affected her so deeply.
According to her, she had looked forward to being present this year and had even assured herself that she would not miss it, yet she still found herself unable to go.
She stated that the disappointment weighed heavily on her, which pushed her to offer a public apology.
Debbie added that her past absence had also been caused by unexpected situations, making her feel even more guilty about missing the recent event.
She wrote: “I was supposed to be somewhere yesterday, but couldn’t because of my mother’s duty. I have been feeling bad about it till this morning. I woke up with a mood swing.
“I am searching my heart about why I am feeling this way, and I realised that it’s because I couldn’t make it to that event yesterday, despite having planned and sworn to attend it this year.
“I Am So Sorry For being Unable To Attend Your Event Again Yesterday, @kemity I Feel Really Heartbroken About This Because I Am A Fan Of Your Craft, And I Know You Appreciate Me Too… This isn’t The First Nor the second time you will invite me; situations then affected my coming.
“That I swore and Planned That This Year, I Must Be There! But, Again!! Please, I am sorry for not honouring the invitation by attending. It Really Hurts Me, Hence Why I Am Publicly Writing This.
“Peele Night Will Go Bigger And Bigger Every Year! And By God’s Grace, I Will Be In Attendance In The Coming Years. I Love You, And You Know It @kemity”
