Bishop Bernard points out ‘annoying’ part of Sammie Okposo’s apology

Ufuoma Bernard, Bishop, the Godist Church, on Tuesday said gospel singer, Sammie Okposo apologising to his wife publicly is “unnecessary”.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Bishop Bernard, Okposo’s ‘offence’ is a private matter which shouldn’t have been brought to public limelight. He deemed Okposo’s action “annoying”.

“Sammie Okposo’s apology is unnecessary. What he did was private and bringing it to the public is annoying,” Bernard wrote on his known Facebook page.

It would be recalled that the singer tendered an apology to his wife, Ozioma, and others on Monday while confessing about an intimate relationship he had with a woman when he travelled to the US.

This is as he suspended himself from all ministerial works “until full restoration.”

The singer’s apology read in part, “Dear Friends, I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your attention as I am not proud of it but know that this is the right thing to do.

“On my recent trip to the USA (Late 2021), I got intimately involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man and a minister of the gospel. I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and me.

“As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking His forgiveness, I am suspending myself from all ministry work until full restoration as this is what is proper and what I know I owe God and His people.

“To my wife, Ozioma, I am sincerely sorry I put you through this shameful and embarrassing situation. I broke your trust and disappointed you.”
