Political author and Social Media influencer Reno Omokri has vehemently opposed the Pastor’s comment on the All Progressive Congress’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. The Pastor stated that one who cannot hold the flag of Nigeria could not save Nigeria (as a nation).
A video of the incident is doing rounds on the internet, where the APC Leader, Bola Tinubu, can be seen with a flag of Nigeria. He took the opportunity to criticize the Pastor for his comments, and Omokri took to his social media to share his views.
In his social media update, he stated that he is vehemently against that video of a pastor castigating Tinubu on a church altar.
According to Omokri, the video shows the Pastor saying (about Tinubu) a man who can’t hold Nigeria’s flag can’t keep Nigeria. He believes that what the Pastor is saying is correct. However, Omokri maintains that the place where he is saying it is wrong.
To draw a comparison, he stated, Would we like it if an Imam condemns Obi in a mosque?
The Nigerian author and Social Media influencer maintain that Pastors can take political positions. However, they should not take political positions at a church altar during a service.
According to Reno Omokri, Taking a political position in a church or a mosque is equivalent to weaponizing religion. Omokri has condemned the actions.
He stated if we open that Pandora’s Box, what it may cause may be worse than the Rwandan Genocide!
Further, in his social media update, he has advised the people of Nigeria to practice religion in church and mosque and reserve politics for outside these places.
The political author and social media influencer Reno Omokri is quite vocal about disliking the Labour Party politician Peter Obi as a prospective future president. Meanwhile, he is an ardent supporter of PDP Candidate Atiku Abubakar.
