Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje has alleged that Nigerians publicly praising President Bola Tinubu’s administration have been bribed.
Popular Anambra-based cleric Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Prophet Odumeje or Indaboski Bohose, has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and alleged that Nigerians praising the government have been bribed.
Odumeje made the allegation while commenting on the state of the country and the administration’s handling of economic challenges.
His remarks were contained in a video circulating online and reported by multiple Nigerian media outlets.
Odumeje Attacks Government Supporters
The cleric alleged that people publicly defending or praising the administration were doing so because they had received financial inducements.
The claim was presented by Odumeje as his personal assessment of the political environment and was not accompanied by evidence establishing that supporters of the administration had actually been bribed.
Cleric Criticises Tinubu’s Policies
Odumeje also criticised aspects of Tinubu’s administration, particularly the government’s handling of economic difficulties.
He questioned the impact of the administration’s policies on ordinary Nigerians and expressed concern about the hardship faced by citizens.
The cleric’s remarks come amid an ongoing national debate over the effects of economic reforms introduced since Tinubu assumed office.
Claim Sparks Political Debate
Odumeje’s statement is likely to generate further debate among supporters and critics of the administration.
However, his allegation that people praising Tinubu have been bribed remains a claim and should not be treated as an established fact without evidence.
The controversy again highlights the increasingly heated political discourse surrounding the Tinubu administration as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections.
