I have nothing to do with COZA - Davido reacts to promotional video after being called out by Nigerians






Davido has reacted to the backlash directed at him after being spotted in a promotional video for an event by the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) founded by controversial Patsor Biodun Fatoyinbo. 
 
While some Nigerians accused the DMW boss of being a sellout following Busola Dakolo's rape case against Pastor Fatoyinbo, others wondered why a pop star who sings about "worldly things" and seen in videos with sexy ladies will have play a role in a church program. 
 

 
However Davido who reacted to the outrage that trailed the promotional video, stated that he has nothing to do with COZA. He also expressed disappointment that a quick video he did with a kid who was introduced to him as a fan, was used for an advert. According to him, it is fraudulent and extremely disrespectful. 
 
Davido threatened to initiate legal proceedings against the lady behind the video, if it is not retracted immediately.
 
Read his statement below; 
 

 
Elizabeth Omale, the lady behind the video however apologized over the misrepresentation the viral video ignited. She also disclosed that Davido never did an advert for COZA. 
 
Omale said the video which is not the official ad for the event was her own way of raising awareness for a program she is passionate about. 
 
She wrote;
 

I would like to make some clarifications on the video I recorded with @davidoofficial for my church, the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA). The video was in no way intended to be an official ad from the church. It was simply my way of raising awareness for a program I am passionate about.
I have read reports online claiming that Davido is coming to the program as an ambassador of COZA because of the video, these reports are false. He recorded that video with me and my daughter as a favour to a friend, nothing more. Also, my pastor, Pastor Biodun only reposted the video from my page because he has been reposting videos about the program. My video wasn’t the only one on his page.
The video was a product of my excitement about 12DG and there was no malice intended. I apologize for the confusion and misrepresentation, and once again I’d like to say I acted as an individual and not as an official representative of COZA. Thank you.

Wizkid And Tiwa Savage Blast COZA Over Fraudulent Advert


Just like Davido, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid have called out Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo's COZA church over a fraudulent video advert, aimed at promoting their '12 Days Of Glory' January Programme, which features them without their permission.

Reacting to the 'audio' promotional video via his Twitter page, angry Wizkid wrote:

"Starboy no dey endorse no Pastor or church o! Ogun kill u fake pastors!

And for dat lady that put a camera in my face! Ogun kiss u and your church."

Tiwa Savage also reacting to the audio advert via her Twitter page threatened legal action if COZA doesn't retract it.

“It has been brought to my attention that there is a viral video which includes me advertising an upcoming COZA event. I want to state that I have nothing to do with the Church and certainly do not endorse their events.

I’m extremely disappointed that I was fraudulently approached to simply comment on how good God has been to me and it has been wrongly edited to use my image to create an advert to deceive people. COZA this is wrong. I will be taking action if this is not immediately retracted.”

Here is the controversial COZA video featuring Wizkid and Tiwa Savage

COZA is not a church" Dr Joe Abah says






Dr Joe Abah has said COZA is not a church and he went on to explain what he thinks the religious community is.
 
Abah, who was the Head of the Bureau for Public Sector Reform from 2013 to 2017, tweeted this following the outcry on Twitter resulting from a video where Davido was seen promoting a COZA program.
 
Davido responded, revealing he had been hoodwinked and didn't know what the video was for. Afterwards, the woman who got Davido to do the video admitted that Davido had no idea it was to promote a COZA program.
 
As Twitter users kept debating the latest issue involving COZA, Dr Joe Abah tweeted: "COZA stands for Commonwealth of Zion Assembly. It’s an assembly, not a church. There’s a difference between the two."
 

 
But Twitter users do not agree.
 
Below are reactions from Twitter users.
