Portable, the controversial singer, has vowed to perform at
a praise night organised by Celestial Church of Christ, Land of Goshen, despite
the backlash on social media.
Last week, the Lagos-based church announced its upcoming
concert. It also invited Portable, Pasuma, the Fuji musician, and May Shua, the
songstress, to perform at the concert.
The church’s announcement of the singers’ proposed
participation, however, provoked backlashes on social media after it went viral
last Wednesday.
Olatosho Oshoffa, the leader of the Celestial Church of
Christ International headquarters in Ketu, while responding to the poster on
his Facebook page, said he had requested an immediate amendment of the poster.
“Dear Celestians, I have just had a lengthy conversation
with the Shepherd in Charge of the aforementioned Parish. He has promised to
amend the posters,” he wrote.
“He has assured me that the aforementioned musicians in
question won’t be attending the praise night. Without a doubt, that particular
poster is highly unacceptable. God bless CCC. Amen.”
As of the time of this report, the church is however yet to
release any statement to indicate if Portable will not be performing in the
event.
In a now-viral video, Portable said he was paid N5 million
by the church hence he must perform.
“You Cele people, we will have to do that show. You have
sent money. N5 million. We are going to do it. Pasuma will come in. Everyone
will come. We will do it. Children of God are coming. Land of Goshen is coming.
Land of Goshen Cathedral, we beg you, in the name of God, to see me as a child
of God. Do not use my look to judge me,” he said in a mixture of pidgin English
and Yoruba.
“I am truly wicked. I have also suffered wickedness. I have
suffered wickedness since I was born. I beg you. We must perform that day.
Angels sing a glorious song. I have holy hands. Hossana to the Hebrews.
Hallelujah to the sons of David. God, forgive me. God’s work cannot be stopped.
“It has been written that I am an angel and will perform in
a celestial church. CCC Land of Goshen, I am going to perform alongside Alhaji
Pasuma. You cannot cancel it. My fans in Cele, come out in all.”
