Odumeje Calls Tinubu “Businessman, Not President” in Controversial Statement

Prophet Odumeje

Controversial Nigerian cleric Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje or “The Indaboski,” has ignited widespread debate after describing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as “a businessman rather than a president.”

In a video that has gone viral online, Odumeje argued that genuine leaders are measured by their dedication to national development and citizen welfare.

He contrasted Tinubu with international figures like former U.S. President Donald Trump, Burkina Faso’s Captain Ibrahim Traoré, and China’s Xi Jinping, citing them as leaders who prioritize their countries’ progress.

The Onitsha-based pastor criticized Nigeria’s political elite, accusing them of prioritizing personal wealth accumulation over national development.

He challenged Nigeria’s reputation as the “Giant of Africa,” calling the country a “giant of failure” due to poor leadership.

“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 true leaders who build their countries so that citizens can benefit.

But in Nigeria, politicians are busy acquiring wealth for their own children. Nigeria is not a Giant of Africa; it is a giant of failure,” Odumeje stated.

His comments have triggered intense reactions across social media platforms, with Nigerians divided between those supporting his candid criticism and others condemning his remarks as disrespectful to the presidency.
