A renowned gospel artiste, Bidemi Olaoba, has apologised to white garment churches following a video that sparked controversy on social media platforms.
Olaoba, in an interview with Pastor Leke Adeboye during a TV live show tagged ‘Confession Box with PLA’, said he can never perform in a church where they use scents and burn incense.
According to him, the reason he will never accept to perform in any white garment church is because of the usage of candles, perfumes, and some other spiritual materials during prayers and services.
But in his apologies, Olaoba emphasised his belief in the universality of the gospel and expressed regret for any misunderstanding caused by his previous remarks.
Olaoba clarified that the church mentioned in the video was not a white garment church despite misconceptions.
He urged viewers to watch the full video on YouTube to grasp the context accurately.
“The church I was referring to when I was asked that question was not even a white garment church in the first place. And I didn’t mention white garments in the video. Please I like you to watch the full video to understand the full context. I was trying to avoid the name of that church and that was why I didn’t want to mention the name.
“That was why I qualified them with those things that I said in the video. So, I want to urge you to please go watch the full video on YouTube. So that you can understand it fully.
Olaba said, “Whilst I urge you to search, watch, and analyse the full video on YouTube, please allow me to urge you to disregard such insinuation. The body of Christ is one and indissoluble to which I am a proud member.
While referring to one of his ministrations in the white garment churches after a platform in the Celestial church called him out, he said, “I had ministered at the Lully Concert which happens to be a mega concert of CCC. I have a lot of friends that are from the church. Three of my band members are from the Celestial Church of Christ. So, I have nothing against CCC because I believe that the body of Christ is one as I said earlier.
