She got married to Aliyu, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the weekend in Abuja, Nigeria.
Her dress generated a stir among Muslims on social media who lambasted her for exposing her body.
In a statement on Tuesday, she however said the colour of the dress was the same as her skin, which she said might have made people think she exposed her body.
She said: “I got married on Saturday 03/10/20 and some pictures of me that were taken inside our home got out and was shared on social media,”
“This is an action which I sincerely regret. I apologize to my friends and family for this mistake and want to sincerely thank each and everyone that has risen to my defense,”
“My under dress, which was brownish was mistaken for being my skin and exposing my body. I will never do such,”
“However, I accept responsibility for causing my family and wellwishers this dismay and will learn froom this going forward.”
