The lead pastor of Zoe Household Global, Dolapo Lawal, has tendered a public apology to Arsenal fans for saying that the football club is cursed.
Pastor Dolapo who is currently facing backlash across social media platforms, made the apology after Arsenal won the Premier League on Tuesday.
Speaking in a now trending video on social media, the cleric made a U-turn on his earlier remark6 about the club and promised Arsenal fans a thanksgiving service across his church branches on Sunday.
“Arsenal fans, special thanksgiving for you in Zoe Household on Sunday. Come with your jersey. This is my apology, public apology, special thanksgiving service across all Zoe Household campuses. Praise God. Congrats,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that the clergyman had a month ago, during an exchange with his congregation while preaching, stated that Arsenal can’t win the Premier League.
While claiming that the club is cursed, he also advised ladies to avoid any Arsenal fans as suitors.
“Arsenal cannot win. Didn’t I say it? You were here when I said it. I said it three months ago that even if the gap is 29 points, Arsenal cannot win. There’s a way you will watch a club, you don’t need prophet. And peradventure if you are here as a lady, if an Arsenal fan should ask you out, it’s a bad sign. You need to check yourself,” he said.
