Gospel artiste who first sang ‘Oniduro’ in 2016, Toluwalase Adelegan, has tackled popular gospel act, Tope Alabi, over her criticism of the song.
Alabi had disparaged it in a video, saying oniduro, which means guarantor, does not represent the might of God well.
Many people have since risen against her, pledging support for Yinka Adeyeri, who has also sung a song with the same title.
Reacting in an interview with ‘Saturday Punch’, Adelegan said, “Tope Alabi that spoke about the ‘Oniduro’ song… well she could have smaller gods like Sango or Oya, as her ‘Oniduro’. But to me, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who was the one who stood by me, is my Oniduro.
“The same Jesus stood when the world was without form. He stood in for the world when God wanted to destroy it as He saw the wickedness of man and He decided to come to the world to die for our sins and set us free. Jesus ended all my tribulations that year. All the ways the devil wanted to ridicule me, Jesus did not permit it to happen. That is why I call Him my ‘Oniduro’.”
