To this end, the gospel singer stated that he would suspend himself from all ministry work until full restoration, as he work towards making peace with God and repenting from his sinful ways. 

According to him, “To my wife, Ozioma, I am sincerely sorry I put you through this shameful and embarrassing situation. I broke your trust and disappointed you. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgment is important to me. I pray I will eventually be able to build back the trust and confidence every single day for the rest of my life."

The Apology
Dear Friends: 
“I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your attention as I am not proud of it but that this is the right thing to do."

"As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking for His forgiveness.I am suspending myself from all ministry work until full restoration as this is what is proper and what I know I owe God and His people."

“To my wife, Ozioma, I am sincerely sorry I put you through this shameful and embarrassing situation. I broke your trust and disappointed you. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgment is important to me. I pray I will eventually be able to build back the trust and confidence every single day for the rest of my life."

"I want to take this opportunity to apologize to all fathers and mothers of faith and minister of the gospel for my behaviour and moral failure. I won't be here if not for your investment and belief in what God has called me to do. I sincerely apologize for this embarrassing situation."

"To all that have been a part of my ministry, followed my ministry or know me personally, I am truly sorry ror disappointing you. I regret any pain or disappointment that this news of moral failure and poor judgment may cause you and I am truly sorry for disappointing you. I humbly ask that you continue to pray for me...", he concluded.
