The apology followed allegations previously made by the actress, who accused the cleric of ending their relationship and choosing another woman despite allegedly promising to marry her.
In the video, Pastor Chris addressed the controversy, insisting that several of the claims made against him were inaccurate, but still admitting that his actions may have hurt people.
“I am not joining issues,” he said, referring directly 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 parts of the allegations, the pastor said he was prepared to make peace and take responsibility where necessary, including offering restitution.
“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.”
“I’m kneeling down before everyone and before the church. Forgive me. You can judge me. Pray for me,” he added.
Prompt News reports the exchange has continued to generate reactions online, with many social media users weighing in on the apology and Ogala’s decision to accept it.
