Fuji maestro Adewale Ayuba, also known as Mr Johnson, has shared the reasons behind his move to America and his conversion from Islam to Christianity.
The singer revealed that he converted from Islam to Christianity because he was inspired by the Bible verses, ‘Seek Him first’ and ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’.
He added that religion is a personal choice, saying he chose Christianity because he understands it and desires to be closer to God above all else.
People claim Ayuba is a Muslim. Have they seen me in the mosque? If I were practising Islam, wouldn’t someone have noticed? Why is this an issue?
The Fuji star expressed disappointment with how Nigerians practice religion, stating that he was accused of tagging Muslims as killers.
He said: “my mother is an Alhaja , Would I call my mother a killer?
To me, religion is akin to education. However, I chose Jesus Christ because he proclaimed, ‘I am the truth, the way, and the life.’ This is my personal choice, and it brings me happiness. He invites us to reach out to him exclusively. Many of my band members are Muslims, and we pray together. Would I reject their prayers in Arabic, believing they are cursing me?
I prefer to worship where I feel closest to my God.”
