She expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the Ohinoyi, emphasizing his significance in her life and regretting that he couldn’t witness her success.
In Natasha’s words: “I am pretty much in a mourning mood because we lost His Royal Majesty the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, he was like a father to me. I have known him pretty much all my life and I wish he was alive to witness this day because he was a pillar. Ohinoyi was persecuted, he was attacked for my sake, his palace was bombed and he was almost deposed if not for the intervention of the immediate past president, Buhari”.
