Popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi has apologised over the comments she made in a viral video which generated heat on the internet in the past two weeks.
In the said video, Alabi condemned Adeyinka Alaseyori for describing God as ‘guarantor or Oniduro’. She said God is bigger than a guarantor.
Her comments on the song did not go well with many Nigerians on social media and has generated heat on the internet since then.
While speaking in an interview with Church Times Nigeria, Alabi apologised for her statement on the said video.
She said, “Let me acknowledge that my mistake was that I externalised a personal message in public; and I’m awfully sorry for doing that”.
“Initially, I didn’t want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, “Oniduro,” because I have intervened behind the scenes in concert with other stakeholders in gospel music ministry. However, I discovered that online media would not allow the dust to settle calmly”.
“I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka Adesioye a.k.a Alaseyori and Tolu Adelegan are all members of the same family of God and they belong to the same calling – singing ministry.
“Adeyinka is my daughter in ministry. Her Pastor asked me to pray for her because she took after me, which I did wholeheartedly”.
