I’m not perfect, I’m awfully sorry – Tope Alabi finally apologizes to colleague, Adeyinka Alaseyori
Gospel singer, Tope Alabi finally offers an unreserved apology to fellow gospel singer, Adeyinka Alaseyori for criticizing her gospel song, ‘Oniduro mi’.
Tope Alabi, also known as Ore ti o common, and as Agbo Jesu is a Nigerian gospel singer, film music composer, and actress. In a press release released moments ago, Tope Alabi finally apologized after she criticized her fellow colleague in the gospel music industry, Adeyinka Aseyori over her song, ‘Oniduro mi’.
Her apologies went thus:
“Let Me Acknowledge That My Mistake Was That I Externalized A 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,” 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 I, 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.
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 a 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. 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……”
If you would recall, a viral video showed Tope Alabi criticizing her colleague, Adeyinka Alaseyori over her popular hit song titled ‘Oniduro Mi ese o’ which generated many reactions from different people. The 50-year-old gospel artiste, Tope Alabi had said in the video that God isn’t her guarantor because he’s more than a guarantor.
