Prominent Tanzanian gospel artist Christina Shusho has apologised for a Facebook post that upset opponents of Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The singer posted a prayer on Saturday which asked God to “give your servant Uhuru Kenyatta wisdom and answer his prayers whenever his call”.
“Give him knowledge to lead the country and when he calls answer him,” the prayer added.
Supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga criticised Ms Shusho for her perceived one-sided prayer. She ended up deleting the post.
The singer told Kenya’s privately owned Star newspaper that she was sorry.
“It was not my intention to hurt you guys. Again, I am sorry. I just want to say that I will continue praying for you. Let love lead.”
Mr Odinga has withdrawn from Thursday’s presidential election re-run, saying it will be a sham.
