Reno Omokri has accused Pastor Tunde Bakare of criticising President Tinubu not as a moral leader, but as a bitter political rival still upset over losing the APC ticket in 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS​

  • Tunde Bakare recently criticised Tinubu’s leadership and accused him of running a “motorpark style” government.
  • Omokri responded, alleging Bakare’s comments stem from personal disappointment over losing the 2022 APC presidential primary.
  • He claimed Bakare is still covetous of the presidency and is misrepresenting personal ambition as prophetic insight.
  • Omokri referenced Bakare’s past controversial political prophecies.
  • The clash reflects deeper tensions between political ambition and religious influence in Nigerian politics.
Omokri’s attack on Bakare touches a nerve in Nigeria’s often-blurred line between pulpit and power. When pastors double as political figures, criticism of national leaders can seem less like prophecy and more like payback. This exchange also reminds Nigerians of the emotional scars and unfinished business from the fiercely contested APC primaries.

Is Bakare speaking truth to power—or just venting a bruised ego? Either way, it’s a telling moment in Nigeria’s political–religious drama.
