Nollywood actress Rita Edochie is already counting down to her court battle with Judy Austin.
While addressing those saying the lawsuit is giving her sleepless nights, she said it is an opportunity to say things she hasn’t said. Rita said she is looking forward to the day, but in the meantime, she is excited for May Edochie’s birthday.
Edochie noted that she has been observing and keeping a lot to herself, and that there are many things she could have said before, but she deliberately chose silence. She said Judy only handed her the microphone and she would exposed her.
“This lawsuit dey give Rita Edochie sleepless night.
Mee? As how nah?
Nwa nne, na better opportunity wey I dey find to dey talk wetin I never talk dem give me so I don grab wella.
29th is the code, but first, get ready for my great darling daughter’s birthday, Queen May Yul Edochie; that is more important.
Observing and keeping a lot to myself. There are so many things I could have said before now, but I deliberately chose silence because I didn’t want to force certain conversations into the public space.
But since a lawsuit has now been brought into the picture, let the facts come out. Let the law hold me down if everything I have been saying is not the truth.
Where is the defamation if I have spoken falsely? Then let the court establish it.
But if what I have been saying is true, then why should I be terrified of saying even more? More dey come.
In fact, I have a whole lot more to say, and that is why I thank God for this lawsuit every single day.
You proof have basically handed me the microphone I have been waiting for.
I go use am open fowl nyash!
I go use am well, I swear.
Not with rumours, not with fabricated stories, not with whispers from unknown sources.
I will speak about what I know, what I have said, what I can stand by, and what I believe can be defended before the appropriate authorities.
You cannot drag somebody”.
