An Islamic cleric, Idris Tenshi has apologised to the First Lady of Nigeria and wife of President Bola Tinubu, Senator Remi Tinubu for calling her an unbeliever.
It would be recalled that the cleric in a sermon, described the wife of the president as an “infidel” who should be killed.
Tenshi said; “Tinubu’s wife is an unbeliever and even among the unbelievers, she is a leader.”
“She is among those that Allah has instructed us to kill because she is among the leaders of the unbelievers.”
The cleric after series of backlashes from Nigerians, went on his bended knees to beg the First Lady.
He said; “I would like to pass this message to Nigerians regarding a video I did which is circulating on social media.”
“All the things I said were a mistake and I don’t stand on the words I said. Other clerics have given me a proper explanation of the verse that I quoted.”
“As a human being, I am prone to making mistakes. I am apologising to her excellency Remi Tinubu over the comments I made and taking back the words I said.”
“I am also apologising to Nigerians because she (Remi Tinubu) is like a mother to us. The season of politics is over. I made those comments during the time the campaign was taking place.”
“Now that God has given Bola Tinubu power, we have no other option than to support him and wish him and his family well. Whoever felt offended by the things I said, I am sorry.”
