Ojo went on to give thanks to God who has been with her and her family since the drama ensued on social media.
In a different portion of her post, the actress also thanked fans and others alike who have been showing her support since she joined Princess in the battle for justice.
Her words read in part:
"I will also want to use this opportunity to say a very BIG thank you to all my darling fans and loved ones for your constant love & support ... honestly I'm so overwhelmed & humbled, I will never take it for granted."
Iyabo proceeded to thank the TAMPAN president, Bolaji Amusan aka Mr Latin, for his role in ensuring that peace is restored.
Recall Legit.ng previously reported that in a recent meeting held by the association and chaired by Jide Kosoko, Adebayo Salami, Mr Latin and others, it was established that directors in the industry must not work with Iyabo and Nkechi Blessing.
The actress on behalf of herself and her colleague tendered an unreserved apology to her senior colleagues.

Jide Kosoko clarifies statement about Nkechi Blessing
In a similar vein, Legit.ng earlier reported that actor Jide Kosoko took to social media to clarify his outburst at a recent TAMPAN meeting that went viral.
The thespian addressed his outburst where he had vowed to frustrate Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday.
Kosoko acknowledged that he was not God and he had no power to bring anybody down. According to the veteran movie star, he only used those harsh words to soften and correct the situation like a father would have done.
Funsho Adeolu expresses disappointment at TAMPAN leadership
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that actor Funsho Adeolu reacted to the ongoing drama between TAMPAN and actresses in the industry.
The organisation had suspended Iyabo Ojo and Nkechi Blessing and blacklisted them in the industry.
In reaction to that, Funsho Adeolu said he was ashamed of the conduct of the leaders meant to protect its members.
