Popular cleric Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, widely known as Odumeje, has criticised the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his recent comments defending President Bola Tinubu's handling of insecurity.
"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.
Reacting during a recent church service, Odumeje disagreed with the respected cleric's position, insisting that spiritual leaders should hold governments accountable rather than defend them.
"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 bad 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," he said.
The controversial preacher also accused politicians of mismanaging public resources and neglecting the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.
"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," Odumeje added.
