Tanzanian Singer Christina Shusho Forced to Apologize to Kenyans over President Uhuru's Special Prayer

Popular Tanzanian gospel singer Christina Shusho has been forced to apologize to Kenyans following social media outcry over her “partial prayers” on President Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a Facebook post, Shusho had offered special prayers for President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of the repeat presidential election and left out National Super Alliance (NASA) Raila Odinga, which angered a section of Kenyans online.

“On our second prayer day, I dedicate Kenya before you, God. Dear God I pray you fill Kenya’s Commander In Chief Uhuru Kenyatta with courage and strength. I pray that God gives you (Uhuru) wisdom to guide Kenyans effectively,” prayed Shusho. “Dear God, if there are any sins committed against you by Kenya’s elders, forgive them. Grant wisdom to your servant Uhuru Kenyatta. Dear God, please answer his prayers, when he reaches out to you. Stand by him; give him the much-needed wisdom to lead Kenya. When he calls upon you, listen to him God, don’t turn your back on him. I fully understand that Kenya’s redeemer lives. Amen.”

A group of Kenyans slammed the musician online and accused her of being 'bias' in her prayer.

The outcry forced her to dedicate a prayer for the former Prime Minister minutes later.

“Dear God, we are praying for Hon. Raila Odinga. For Kenya’s sake, remember him. Grant him grace, both big and small. Grant him his heart’s desires and grant him wisdom for Kenya’s sake. I pray peace prevails even as you consider Raila Odinga. Dear God, use your servant Hon. Raila Odinga as a vessel to preach peace and prosperity. You are a fair God, a peace-loving God, please hear our prayers. Amen,” Shusho prayed.

However, her efforts to salvage the situation did not repair the damage. More Kenyans online continued to express their displeasure with her action, which forced her to issue a public apology. “It was not my intention to hurt you guys. I am sorry. Nimalize kwa kusema nina wapenda, na nitaendelea kuwaombea.”

The singer later pulled down the prayers made to both Uhuru and Raila and the apology.

To be Sincere: CHRISTINA Shusho May NOT Have Prayed PERFECTLY like Some of Us Would Have Wanted or Expected her to. But: Let's Take a BREATH for Some Biblical GUIDANCE (lest we be Too Harsh and Judgemental of her). JAMES 2:1-4 says:"1. First of all, then, I urge that Supplications, PRAYERS, Intercessions, and Thanksgivings be made for all people, 2. for KINGS and all who are in HIGH POSITIONS, that we may lead a Peaceful and Quiet Life, Godly and Dignified in every way. 3. This is good, and it is pleasing in the Sight of God our Savior, 4. Who Desires all people to be SAVED and to come to the Knowledge of the TRUTH." Amen!!!

Ano. JAMES 2:19 says:"You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!" So FYI: I Myself Believe that GOD is ONE; and Do WELL (stand FIRM/Strong). But (I can tell by your INSECURE response to JAMES 2:1-4), you ANONYMOUS Do SHUDDER/Tremble at Him (God) because you are a Demon or Full of Demons that TREMBLE when You See/Hear the Word of God. I don't Tremble; I get EXCITED. Amen!!!

That's what I call prayer socialism!! If I was her I would have just told them to take a knee and pray for their supreme leader. Clearly she likes Uhuru. Don't see the problem with that, except a temporary loss of a small market.

What is God's you tell to God ( like the first unsolicited prayer she made) and what is god's you tell it to its worshipers(like the make up prayer she scrambled for Rao). The negative energy used in castigating the lady was enough to make their own prayers for whomever they so wished. These fellas wants to control even matters of heart? Why hijack her prayers?That is the worst bankruptcy after mortgaging their soul to one man's nightmares.

The bottom line is, she can pray for whomever she wishes. Period. Just like "we" have been vocal in supporting and condemning those we choose. People are just scapegoating her to project their frustration.

@Guest1, you have many faces, amazing how you can switch from 0 to 100! Be biblical and abusive in equal measures. Charming!
