A public affairs commentator, Reno Omokri, has called out the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, accusing him of failure to call his followers, known as Obidients, to order.
Omokri said Obi’s supporters have insulted all Nigerian icons, including the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Reports gathered earlier that Pastor Adeboye had on Sunday expressed optimism that the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, would fix Nigeria with the help of God.
Adeboye, who was represented by his Special Assistant, Pastor Dele Balogun, spoke at the monthly Thanksgiving service at the RCCG Headquarters in Ebute-Metta.
But, Obi’s supporters felt offended by the statement credited to Adeboye, calling him names on various social media platforms.
It could be recalled that Adeboye was dragged by Obi followers in the build-up to the election when they accused him of refusing to declare open support for the former Anambra Governor.
Many of them were of the belief that the Christian leader might be surreptitiously supporting Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket because the incoming First Lady is a pastor in his church.
In a post on his social media handles on Tuesday, Omokri said Obi’s supporters insulted Adeboye; the Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.
