An Islamic cleric, Idris Tenshi is now on bended knees, begging President Bola Tinubu’s wife, Senator Remi Tinubu for calling for her killing.

Tenshi said: “I would like to pass this message to Nigerians regarding a video I did which is circulating on social media.”

“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.”

For those who don’t know, the cleric, in a sermon, described the wife of the president as an “infidel” who should be killed.

He said: “Tinubu’s wife is an unbeliever and even among the unbelievers, she is a leader.”

“She is among those that Allah has instructed us to kill because she is among the leaders of the unbelievers.”
