Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwo, aka Mama Gee, has finally reacted to the rumoured affair between her and a Delta State-born politician, Michael Diden, aka Ejele.

In a statement, the actress expressed anger over the rumour, explaining that she has more important issues to handle than having a secret affair with a man. She also stated that as a blunt person, if the story were true, she would have boldly presented the man in her life to the public.
“If I am sleeping with any man, it is not an affair because I am entitled to be married. It cannot become an affair because I am not married and my husband is dead. Secondly, I don’t have any man in my life and I don’t intend to have any man. I have friends and I am entitled to my own friends like you,” she told Nigeriafilms.com, adding; “It is really annoying when people talk about you with things you never thought of doing. So, to clear the air, I don’t have any man in my life but I have friends, both males and females, and I am working hard to make a living for myself so that nobody will say he or she is affecting my life.”
The actress denied knowing Pastor Michael Diden a.k.a Ejele, or planning a secret marriage. “I don’t even know the person you guys are talking about. At this age, I shouldn’t be thinking about having a lover. Instead, I should be thinking how to work seriously to make Nigeria grow,” she said.
The 2014 AMAA Best Supporting actress, who was spotted in Uganda at the launch of the second edition of the Uganda Film Festival on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, is currently on vacation in London, taking care of her grandchildren.
