Recall that Freelanews reports how one of the Obidients and Nigerian disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, currently on asylum in Canada, insulted the general overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over a comment attributed to the respected man of God.
“Tinubu’ll fix Nigeria with God’s help,” Pastor Adeboye stated.
DJ Switch responded that Adeboye had found his lost voice after the injustices dished Nigerians by his ‘best friends’.
In a tweet shared on his verified handle, Obi frowned at the use of deceit by ‘people masquerading as Obidients to abuse and insult eminent personalities’.
“The use of subterfuge by people masquerading as Obidients to abuse and insult eminent personalities like Most Reverend Pastor Enoch Adeboye or anyone else is most unacceptable. Obidients are by and large, law-abiding citizens.
“While differences of opinion are normal, calculated efforts to create ethnic or religious chasm all in the name of politics should not in any way be tolerated. As a person, I eschew name-calling, insults, and abuses, likewise most of my supporters.
“The suggestion that some in the fringes engage in such conduct casually overlooks the fact that the political opposition deploys such methods to gain undue advantage and create confusion and bad blood,” he wrote.
