Aderemi Dabiri, the founder of a Celestial Church of Christ branch in Lagos State, has offered an explanation for inviting renowned fuji singer Pasuma and emerging Afrobeats star Portable to a praise night event.
The church faced social media controversy following the announcement of Pasuma and Portable as guest performers for an upcoming program.
Responding to the criticism in a viral video, Dabiri clarified that his choice to invite secular artists was aimed at attracting new converts to the church. The decision generated discussions and diverse reactions across various social media platforms.
“It is not our first time inviting guest artistes. We have been doing it without a problem and I can give you a series of instances. We can’t go where they sell palm wine or alcoholic drinks and ask them to accept Jesus Christ. If I don’t apply wisdom, they will hit bottle on my head. That was why I thought of a way to bring them into the church,” he said.
While criticising some gospel singers for their disrespectful behaviour, Dabiri added, “Some of the gospel singers are rude. Some of them respond to you rudely, but the day I called Pasuma, he sounded respectful on the phone and also agreed with my stance.”
In his appeal to the worldwide Celestial Church community, Dabiri emphasized the need for support and expressed his unwavering commitment to utilizing his unique evangelistic approach to bring honor and pride to the church.
