Odetola said she had initially considered keeping her new journey private but decided to make it public to prevent people from drawing their own conclusions about her recent activities.
“I have been contemplating whether I should be private about it, but how can I be private about preaching the gospel when you could just see me on your street with my bell preaching the gospel? Let me bring myself out before anyone records me & brings me out,” she said.
The actress also appealed to her fans, colleagues and loved ones to support her with prayers as she begins the new phase.
“I need all the prayers in this new season. I need all the prayers in this season. When God compels you, you may delay, but you cannot escape the call,” she added.
