Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation Bible Ministry, has finally tendered an apology and sought forgiveness in the wake of allegations made against him by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.
In a video shared across social media by the actress on Sunday, the cleric was seen kneeling before members of his church as he expressed remorse over what he described as mistakes made in the past.
Doris Ogala had called Chris Okafor out after he dumped her for another woman despite promising her marriage.
While maintaining that many of the allegations against him were untrue, Pastor Chris said he was apologizing to anyone who felt offended by his actions.
“I am not joining issues,” he said, referring specifically to Doris Ogala. “Mistakes have been made in the past, and I tender my apology to everybody. But everything that was said is not true. There are so many lies in most of the things that were said.”
Despite disputing the claims, Pastor Chris reiterated his willingness to make amends, stating that he was ready to offer restitution to any woman he may have offended.
“To Doris Ogala, I will apologize, and I also apologize to everyone. I am ready to make a restitution to anyone and anybody, any lady, anywhere I’ve offended,” he said.
The pastor acknowledged his imperfections and appealed to the congregation and the public for forgiveness and prayers, noting that he had experienced a “new beginning” following the influence of senior Christian leaders he described as “fathers of faith.”
“I’m kneeling down before everyone and before the church. Forgive me. You can judge me. Pray for me,” he added.
