How Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo
rejected me because of my
scandals – Gospel singer
Kefee

Nigerian female gospel singer, Kefee Obareki
has accused the General Overseer of
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA),
Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of being insensitive to
people’s plights. While trying to clear the air on her alleged
scandal with fellow singer, Timaya, the gospel singer in a
recent interview with Encomium , mocked the pastor and
made reference to his alleged scandal with Ese Walters –
“In 2008, I was invited to perform at a church (name
withheld) in Abuja for the second time. The publicity for the
show was massive, they had distributed invitation card to
guests, people were even calling to confirm if I was going
to perform. In fact, I got copies of the flyers weeks before
the show.
I was getting ready to go to the airport when I got a call
from the pastor’s P.A, asking if I had seen a certain
newspaper’s story about me. I said yes, it was a scandal.
And he said they don’t want to have anything to do with me
because of that scandal. Besides, he added that they have
top government officials who worship in their church, and
all sort.
I said ok, but the so-called senior pastor, who called me
initially to plead with me to accept a certain amount
because it was a new church couldn’t call me anymore, he
had to send his P.A to tell me that. He didn’t care what
happened to me, if it was true what said about me by an
angry, bitter man. I felt really low not because I didn’t do
the show but because they cared less what happened to
me, because that would have been the end of my career.
Now, I called Timaya. We met at a studio somewhere in
Festac town, and Timaya asked me about the same
scandal. And he told me what I expected a man of God
would’ve told me. I remember, he said to me, “Don’t worry,
if your hands are clean, you will see God turn things
around for you. God will help you, my sister.” I say this in
all sobriety, after which we recorded Kokoroko. When
Kokoroko came out and Timi (Dakolo) listened to it, he said
“Kefee, you dey make me like God in a different way.” Now,
you tell me, who acted like a good human? Who would
have ever thought that the so-called man of God, who now
has his share of scandal and is still planning a robust reply
would act that weird? So, when I heard people talking
about me featuring Timaya, it sounded funny.
God can use anything, anybody. Music is an art that
transcends all. Timaya was good for that song and he
delivered, that’s what matters to me. I don’t judge people.
If he was a doctor, you won’t say he shouldn’t treat you
because he isn’t a Christian. It won’t matter then. All you
would want is have him do his job and that was what he
did. He did a good job on that song you can’t deny that.
And to me, that’s what counts.”
