Reno Omokri Calls Out Peter Obi As Obidients ‘Attack’ Pastor Adeboye
Reno Omokri, a public affairs commentator, has called out Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, accusing him of failing to call his followers, known as Obidients, to order.
Obi’s supporters, according to Omokri, have insulted all Nigerian icons, including General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
According to reports, Pastor Adeboye expressed hope on Sunday that the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, would fix Nigeria with God’s help.
Pastor Dele Balogun, Adeboye’s Special Assistant, spoke at the monthly Thanksgiving service at the RCCG Headquarters in Ebute-Metta.

However, Obi’s supporters were offended by Adeboye’s statement, calling him names on various social media platforms.
It may be recalled that in the run-up to the election, Obi supporters accused Adeboye of refusing to declare open support for the former Anambra Governor.
Many of them suspected the Christian leader was secretly supporting Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket because the incoming First Lady is a pastor in his church.
Omokri stated in a post on his social media accounts on Tuesday that Obi’s supporters insulted Adeboye, Wole Soyinka, and the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.
“In Christianity, the most respected Nigerian is Pastor Adeboye. You may not like that it is a fact, but it is true. So respected is he that he was called ‘Daddy Adeboye’ by a British Prime Minister (David Cameron). In Islam, the most revered living Nigerian is Sarkin Musulumi, His Eminence, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto. So revered is he that Nigerian Presidents even bow to him.
“In academics, the most respected Nigerian national is Professor Wole Soyinka. The first Black African to have won a Nobel Prize in an academic category. So honoured is he that a former US President (Jimmy Carter) personally took his Green Card to him without him even applying for one.
“Each of these three national icons has been insulted publicly and carelessly by Obidients,” Omokri stated.
He expressed sadness that Obi was afraid to publicly call his supporters to order, saying he preferred meeting the insulted leaders privately to say one thing indoors and another thing outside.
“Sadly, their leader is afraid of publicly calling them to order. And instead prefers to go privately to see people they insult to say one thing in private and then another in public.”
Omokri recalled his written exchanges with Peter Obi, saying the LP man “told me that the people insulting me were not Obidients but All Progressives Congress supporters pretending to be Obidients. How he felt I would be foolish enough to believe that beats my imagination.”
He lamented that the Obidients have forgotten history and are “making offensive images, songs, skits, and remarks against Pastor Adeboye, who has millions of loyal followers in Nigeria.”
