Sarah Martins clarifies the intentions behind the date
She made it clear that the gesture was not an acceptance of his romantic request but rather an act of kindness to remind him that he is deserving of love and affection regardless of his status.
She further explained that she tried to convince him that God would bless him with a woman better suited for him when he is financially stable, but he insisted that his feelings were only for her.
"Note: This is not me saying yes to his love request, this is me extending my hands of love to him reminding him that he is worthy of LOVE and AFFECTION regardless of his status."
Sarah Martins also clarified that Opeyemi was neither sacked nor suspended from his job, but she encouraged people to support him in becoming independent.
"And again, he wasn’t sacked nor suspended from his dispatch work but a little assistance from each and everyone of us can help him stand on his own as a man."
She appealed to Nigerians to assist the rider with a dispatch bike so he can stand on his own.
