A video recently shared by The Benin Blogger has ignited discussion about the role of Nigeria’s top pastors in politics, particularly under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The clip, approximately one minute and forty-eight seconds long, shows General Asabuja, a cleric and activist, openly criticising Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and Pastor Tunde Bakare for allegedly applying double standards when addressing governments.

Asabuja recalled how Pastor Adeboye frequently spoke against the leadership of former President Goodluck Jonathan, accusing church leaders of not giving Jonathan peace of mind at the time.

“We saw what Pastor Adeboye did during Jonathan’s administration. They did not let him rest. They fought Goodluck Jonathan. Church people, General Overseer. God will judge you people,” he said.

The cleric questioned why the same pastors, who were quick to condemn Jonathan, have not raised their voices against President Tinubu, despite worsening security and rising poverty in the country.

He stated, “Adeboye no go see say, Tinubu no dey do well. Adeboye no go see say, the government no dey do well. Goodluck Jonathan time, una see wetin Adeboye do.”

Asabuja also suggested that the pastors’ silence might be influenced by ethnic ties, claiming that their refusal to speak out is because Tinubu is from their region.

“Now, una no go talk. Because na una brother. Na una friend. Na una fellow Yoruba. Na una Oga dey for seat,” he added.
