Gospel singer Sammie Okposo will perform alongside Nathaniel Bassey, Enkay and others at a concert organised by their colleague Tope Alabi.

The concert tagged ‘Praise the Almighty’ will hold on Sunday, February 20.

Tope shared the flyer of the concert in an Instagram post in the early hours of Wednesday.

Sammie Okposo sparked reactions on Tuesday after confessing and apologising to his wife Ozioma for cheating on her with a US-based lady identified as African Doll. He also announced that he would be stepping down from his ministry.

“On my recent trip to the USA (Late 2021), I got intimately involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man and a minister of the gospel. I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and I.

“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.”

Addressing his wife Ozioma, he said, “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, was, however, taken down from Instagram on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Dumanis International Gospel Centre has removed Okposo’s name from the list of gospel artistes slated to minister at a concert on Friday, January 28, 2022.
