Gospel singer Tope Alabi has now tendered an unreserved apology to fellow gospel singer Adeyinka Alaseyori for criticizing the gospel song, Oniduro mi.

Tope Alabi criticized her colleague Adeyinka Alaseyori over her popular hit song titled ‘Oniduro Mi eseun o’ and this sent social media into a frenzy and generated many reactions from different people.

According to Tope Alabi in the video, God isn’t her guarantor because He’s more than a guarantor.

This earned the ‘Angeli mi’ crooner lots of bashing, dragging, and criticism on social media. In a press release on Friday, Tope Alabi apologized and clarified thus:

“Let me acknowledge that my mistake was that I externalized personal message in public and I am awfully sorry for doing that.

"Initially, I didn’t want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, ‘Oniduro Mi’, 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 dust to settle calmly.

"I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka 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 asks me to pray for her because she took over me, which I did wholeheartedly.

"Envy who? Never! I love the girl so much.

"She can confirm from 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 their wings of the gift without disturbing one another.

“... I’m not a perfect person yet, I’m still a work in progress in the hands of God. I want people to see me as a mere mortal with my own weaknesses, human frailties and as a learner in the limitless knowledge of God.

"I am who I am today only by the mercy of God and the support of millions of gospel music lovers. I have no support base elsewhere outside the awesome Nigerians who feel uncomfortable with my statement.

"I see the depth of anger as the measure of their love, admiration, and solid support for me and for all of us in the singing ministry.

“Let me acknowledge that my mistake was that I externalized a personal message in public, and I’m awfully sorry for doing that.

"What creative people we are. Nigerians are awesome minds who will fashion out tension-relieving stuff from every situation.

"Evangelist Tolu Adelegan is a woman I hold in high esteem. Adeyinka, as I said earlier, is my daughter in ministry, they are all valuable sisters and associates that nothing can separate us. This is a mere fog, it will fade away in no time.

"I appreciate them all. The Bible says in Hebrew 12: 14 that we should pursue peace with everybody and holiness, those are the conditions for us to see God. This is the acceptable path for all of us to follow……”
