The cleric came under fire over the comments.
On Friday, the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (YOWICAN) demanded the arrest and prosecution of the cleric.
The group said there is an urgent need for the government
and security agencies to take action against the cleric.
However, in a new video, Tenshi apologised to the wife of
the president over his comments.
Tenshi said everything he said was “a mistake”, adding that
he has withdrawn all that he said.
“I would like to pass this message to Nigerians regarding a
video I did which is circulating on social media,” he said.
“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.”
