DAY 4 OF DERIKO’S HEARTFELT APOLOGY TO MR. TONY ELUMELU
@TonyOElumelu
Sir, please, we are still begging for mercy.
Four days have passed, but the regret in Deriko’s heart has not gone away. He is only 19 years old, the fifth of eight children, and he is painfully aware that one moment of terrible judgment has brought so much worry and sorrow upon his family.
He knows he was wrong. He has no excuse for what he said, and he is deeply sorry.
Today, we are not asking you to forget what happened. We are simply asking you to find a place in your heart to forgive him.
Sir, please remember that behind this mistake is a young life that is still being shaped. Give him the chance to learn, to grow, and to prove that this terrible mistake does not have to define the man he becomes.
Sir, from the depths of our hearts, we plead: please have mercy on Deriko. Please forgive our son.
One act of mercy from you could become a lifelong lesson he will never forget 🙏🙏🥹
