#Oniduro mi: Tope Alabi tenders apology.
Popular gospel musician Tope Alabi has reacted to the outrage that followed her public criticism of the song #Oniduro mi composed by Evangelist (Mrs) Tolu Adelegan and popularised by Adeyinka Alaseyori.
Alabi in a conversation with a journalist Michael West, on Tuesday admitted she made a mistake by making her comment on #Oniduro mi public. She thereafter tendered apologies.
“Let me acknowledge that my mistake was that I externalised a personal message in public, and I’m awfully sorry for doing that. My friends, colleagues, and leaders in ministry who criticized me either openly or privately simply feel disappointed because of the love we share. We are too knitted in the Body of Christ to allow anything to divide us. The human factor is part of our life”, Tope Alabi was quoted as saying.
“Adeyinka is my daughter in ministry. Her Pastor asked me to pray for her because she took after me, which I did wholeheartedly. Envy who? Never! I love the girl so much. She can confirm to you, sir, that we relate so well. God has given each of us the grace to go as far as His enablement could carry us. The atmosphere is wide enough for everyone to stretch her wings of gift without disturbing one another.”
“Will you be happy if I die of a heart attack because of this matter? You, too, have acknowledged in your voice note that I would be under intense pressure. I’m being bombarded with calls and visits by pastors since Monday morning till now. As we speak, another group of Pastors is coming in now. I guess it is because of this same issue. Uncle, you’re too harsh on me. You know me better than many people around me today, being my big brother,” Alabi said.
