Controversial cleric, Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has stirred reactions online after describing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as “a businessman rather than a president.”
Speaking in a viral video, the self-styled “Indaboski” argued that true leaders are those who prioritize national development and the welfare of their citizens.
He compared Tinubu unfavorably with figures such as former U.S. President Donald Trump, Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré, and China’s Xi Jinping, whom he described as examples of leaders committed to building their nations.
Odumeje further criticized Nigeria’s political class, accusing them of focusing on accumulating wealth for their families while neglecting the country’s growth and progress.
Odumeje ridicules Nigeria’s ‘Giant’ status
He lamented that despite being referred to as the “Giant of Africa,” Nigeria continues to fall short in meeting the expectations of its people, which he bluntly described as a “giant of failure.”
His words in part …“I don’t know who’s calling Tinubu president. Tinubu is just a businessman. If you want to talk about a president, call Trump, Ibrahim Traoré, Xi Jinping, and many others, they are all true leaders. Leaders are people who develop their country so that their children and citizens can benefit, but the ones we have in Nigeria are busy acquiring wealth for their own children. Nigeria is a giant of f@ilure not a Giant of Africa.”
