Popular cleric Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has strongly criticized the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his recent comments regarding President Bola Tinubu.
The criticism follows a June 23 address delivered by Adeboye at the U.S.-Nigeria Faith Heroes Award Gala, where the RCCG leader defended the presidency against critics of Nigeria’s worsening security. Adeboye argued that President Tinubu has fulfilled his constitutional obligations by ordering the military to tackle insecurity, adding that the President cannot be expected to physically fight on the frontlines.
“I need to make this one clear: I don’t support those who are accusing the president of not doing enough. When the commander-in-chief has given instructions to his subordinates, he has done his bit. You don’t expect him to go and put on khaki and (fight),” Adeboye said
However, speaking during a recent service at his church, Prophet Odumeje countered Adeboye’s stance. Odumeje, an outspoken critic of the current administration, dismissed the defense of the government, stating that;
“I don’t want to talk about Pastor Adeboye because do you know what it means to be a pastor? A pastor should rebuke a båd government; they don’t benefit from it. I’m disappointed with our own set of pastors. My generation feels like a failure. The way I’m angry, eehhh.
Our politicians are lavishing our resources, yet we keep praising them with the same resources we sent them to manage for us. Every politician is there to represent the citizens, serve the people, and remain accountable to them.
We don’t know our rights in this country. They use our money to send their children and relatives abroad to study while ordinary Nigerians continue to suffer. That’s why they go after people like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who speaks against them.” he said
