Nigerians blast Pastor Poju Oyemade for asking them to support the government
According to SaharaReporters, a Twitter user, Chijioke Ubaka, said he is not surprised by Pastor Poju’s comment because they are clergymen who eat off the rot in the system.
“These are men of dogs who eat off the rot in the system, so I'm not surprised when he starts to romanticise evil instead of chastising. Criminals on the pulpit.”
Another Nigerian, @Yommexito said:
"You are an EMBARRASSMENT to the BODY of CHRIST.
"Your number 1 job as CHRISTIAN religious leader is to ADMONISH evil & SPEAK D TRUTH.
"Guess your own GOD advocates ELECTION RIGGING, INJUSTICE & MURDER in name of putting country first ?
“RELIGIOUS CROOK”

"In other words you are saying Nigerians should let a criminal drug dealer who stole the people’s mandate lead as long as it favors you? You are completely mad, Oni kure that your god will punish you sir. Thank you
@vakorah
"I thank God i don’t believe in any Pastor, and God is blessing me everyday of my life. Churches are the main problem we have in Nigeria. Pastors can’t say the truth anymore. This is sad.
@BLAKmajor
"See how Nigerian Pastors have reduced themselves to promoting corruption and criminality all for stomach infrastructure. @pastorpoju may God forgive you and I pray you repent."
Jimmy @diisa2002
"This is shameful coming from a god of man. The election period has really opened and exposed a lot of people sha. It is really sad! Deep down inside of you, you know the truth but you just want to be seen as a part of those in support so they can’t come after you. God will display the exact miracle most of you preach about to you very soon."
