Genevieve Nnaji reveals why she didn’t become a Glo Ambassador
Fans were shocked when Actress, Genevieve Nnaji, wasn’t picked as a Glo Ambassador, instead she was signed on by rival telecommunications brand, Etisalat.
Reports had earlier said that the deal didn’t pull through because she referred them to her Manager and that even when Mike Adenuga personally called her, she said the same thing.
In a new interview with PM news, she cleared the misconception, saying:
“First of all, that is not true as I never spoke to Dr. Mike Adenuga. In fact, it will be an honour to speak with him. However, let us face the subject of speaking with my manager. I think it is professional that managers should be contacted when issues about business are about to be discussed. I am not saying that was the issue with that particular brand. But let’s assume it was; is there any problem speaking with someone’s management? Please tell me. Truly I was approached. We had negotiations but things didn’t work out and everyone moved on. It is simple.”
