Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, has expressed regret over the statement he made on covid-19 saying that it was a slip of the tongue.
It will be recalled that the fiery cleric said in a viral video that he bought his third private jet during the COVID-19 pandemic, adding that he prayed for the pandemic to continue.
Apostle Suleman however expressed regret, saying that the word slipped out of his mouth. He added that no pastor will pray for COVID-19 not to end.
Acccording to him, some parts of the viral video was also edited by a fellow pastor who is his enemy.
Apostle Suleman said: “There is a video trending about me that was posted by a pastor against me. It was a programme I had in Abuja and I was trying to explain something about COVID-19.
“When they told me that I prayed for the coronavirus not to end, I said ‘me? I did not say that.’
“When I watched the video, I discovered it slipped out of my mouth. There is no pastor that will pray for COVID-19 not to end. It doesn’t make sense.”
He said that he was preaching about how families were united, how some people even made money during covid-19 period.
“That was what I was trying to buttress and it slipped out of my mouth. I could not have prayed for coronavirus not to end, no pastor would do that. But he (the pastor) took that mistake, edited some part and blew it,” he added.
