“Dear @PastorEAAdeboye, you have a big platform, why are you not speaking out like you did during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration??? You have been silent since Tinubu took over. Plateau, Enugu and Benue is bleeding! Speak Up SIR!!!”

“I remember Adeboye praying for the people of Israel. Here right in his country, Christians are being slaughtered and that fraud hasn’t said a thing, smh.”
