Gospel singer Sammie Okpose apologizes to Buhari

Yesterday the singer took to his instagram page to slam APC presidential candidate Gen. Buhari over his certificate controversy, saying the 72 year old needs to be flogged for allegedly 'forging' his certificate. He's since had a re-think about his statement and has apologised. See what he wrote yesterday after the cut...



He has since deleted this post...

This is the beginning of Buhari's authoritarian behaviour. His associates will stifle your freedom of speech with threats. Mike Adenuga we are watching you. Let's boycott Glo!!!!

Nonsense. Can't someone give his heartfelt opinion? Was it necessary for him to be bullied/threatened into making a retraction?

I weep for Nigeria.

i have never liked Sammie Okposo or his music. I respect his choice politically and have moved him up some notches with this apology.
For me, it says we can play this game fairly. Good one, Sammie

Unknown said...

my respect for him just went up one notch. I may not want to vote for a guy, may not like his face or several other thinga about a person but that shouldn't justify denying such a person fair hearing or justice.

A hateful or hurtful word spoken can never come back.Let us be tactful when it comes to speaking,we jus myt make or mar our own future..Peace!!

We are all human, we are all fallible. Many of us lack the humility and integrity to admit our blunders. What he has done is admirable, exemplary. We shall all make blunders until we die. It is commendable to accept we were wrong, and to apologize. I hope that General Buhari, a father and reputedly a religious man, accepts the apology. For me as a Christian, it is right and beautiful to regret and apologize for mistakes.

@ people's man "you was right the first time" isn't correct English. This amongst others is the reason we don't want GEJ to come back. We have had enough of the collapsing state in the country. We are not angry he should just come and go. Linda would not post this because uncle Jonah has bought her platform.

Who are we to judge you!

Atleast, you have come to the realisation that your utterance berate who you are or what you stand for. I don't respect you as a gospel musician because you are not deep in the word. You have just brandish your true personality.

Anyway, you should know better not to speak without facts especially as a public figure. Its just sad to see you go down the drain. #greedymusicians

Nigeria has no chance of succeeding, if we do
not take the responsibility as Nigerians to contribute in our little ways. I
concluded by saying that only by the acceptance of a collective responsibility
will our nation have a chance of good governance.

What is the problem? Why is my country – Nigeria so unloved
by her children despite the abundance of natural resources and manpower?

Why are we where we are today irrespective of the oil boom
opportunities? Why did we not diversify our economy since we are educated
enough to know that oil is finite? Why did we lose our status in agriculture
and ended up importing sugar, rice and palm oil, even spending billions of
Naira subsidizing their importation?

Why do we import petroleum products when we have 4
refineries worth billions of dollars dormant?

Why are we standing and watching a wasted generation where
the young people’s only hope is kidnapping, drug trafficking and armed robbery
to survive?

Why is Boko Haram taking over parts on our nation in broad
day light? Chasing away our once internationally respected Nigerian Army of the
ECOMOG fame?

Why are people in government still able to withdraw large
chunks of their respective allocations from the banks even though there is a
law against this?

Why are our roads worse than death traps while failed
contractors and their government friends move around as political leaders and
statesmen?

Why are accused thieves, criminals, ex-convicts (accused of
stealing billions of Naira) wriggling their ways through the justice system and
being rewarded with juicy government positions instead of taking their place in
jails?

Why are accused office holders still in their positions and
no attention paid to their alleged offences?

Why have Nigerian politicians been consistently promising,
water, good roads and power supply for over 4 decades now without delivering
and yet they get re-elected? These questions are unending…

Right now we have another opportunity to fight for the
future of this our only country called Nigeria. I have been watching the
campaigns but the assessment is that people who are seeking power are not
dwelling much on the big issues we are facing today.

If you are a student of politics, I am sure you will agree
that there are really no political ideologies that differentiate the main
parties as many politicians join and de-camp parties at their convenience. The
quality of the average Nigerian politician is lacking the will to build a solid
nation that we can all be proud of instead of personal palaces and empires all
over the world.

In my view, the government of the day has failed woefully!
Let us all accept it now rather than wait till Nigeria is fully drowned. We
have failed as a generation and our children will read the history in tears
wondering how we stood by and watched these atrocities being committed against
Nigeria.

Nigeria, the good news is that if we can have this
conversation today, we still have an opportunity to restore our nation.

In the next election, let us forget parties, religion and
relationships and revive our love for Nigeria, arguably the most hated nation
in the world and remember the labours of the our heroes past and vote in the
men and women who we believe, with concrete evidence can deliver on the promise
of Nigeria – a nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

Vote in men and women who will serve with their whole heart
and position our nation where it rightly belongs in the world stage. Ensure
that you don’t stop at voting but let us harness the power of social networking
and stop rigging. Protect your vote in any way possible as the future of Nigeria
depends on this election. Let no former 419 or thief win from presidency to
local government councillorship positions.

Vote in men and women who can deal with corruption in all
areas, then Nigeria will be great again…

And hopefully someday; we will live in the Nigeria of our
dream; where Nigerians are not judged by their tribes, religion or connections.

God bless Nigeria!
