Debt payment: GRV’s wife tenders public apology after social media backlash

Debt payment: GRV’s wife tenders public apology after social media backlash

Ify Aniebo, the wife of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s candidate for governor of Lagos State in the 2023 election, has apologised after recently being accused of not paying the salary of an ex-employee.

After her spouse, GRV, helped settle the debt, she apologised on her X account on Thursday.

Ify expressed remorse while admitting that she could have handled the situation differently before it escalated to social media.

She described it as a ‘teachable moment’ while vowing to do better going forward.

She wrote, “I have taken time out to reflect and now it’s clear to me I should have handled events differently. It didn’t have to come this far and I sincerely apologise.

“This is a teachable moment for me and I strongly appreciate the constructive criticisms. I will handle things better going forward.

“That said, #GRVlagos oko mi! I know I don’t do this enough but I’m incredibly lucky to have you. Thank you for being kind, patient, and loving. My knight in shining armour.

“Forget all this ‘shalaye’ on the timeline, you’re eating well this week – and I’d also be on the menu.”

On Tuesday, Rhodes-Vivour stepped in and paid off his wife’s debt when Chike Jones, a writer and social media manager for Ify Rhodes-owned Afroscientric.com, claimed on X that he had been owed payment for more than eight months.
