EVER SEEN A LYING PASTOR?

“Pastor” Reno Omokri is forcing me to do what I don’t do. I don’t react to published criticisms. I have spent my entire career in the media and as one who criticizes others; you must be ready to take criticism.

This is about exposing a liar masquerading as a pastor. By the way, I have known and worked with exemplary pastors who are decent and from whom you learned more of the etiquette of truth telling.

Take for example Pastor Emeka Izeze and his brother, Pastor Ifeanyi, or his friend, Pastor Segun Babatope. And lately, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President and Pastor Femi Adesina.

For those Reno tried to mislead, yes it is a fact that I worked in the media office of a PDP administration. Not for five years as the new-day pastor published but only for six months at which point it was announced on NTA news, to my surprise, that my letter of resignation had been accepted when I hadn’t written any. I learned of course that I was fired because the head of the country at that time, who believed that every published criticism was sponsored by an insider, read the weekly magazine, The News, and didn’t like what was written about him.

Another point the “Pastor” keeps making is that he was my colleague at that time. No, he wasn’t. His boss was. The Reno I knew was a Personal Assistant (PA) to a Principal Officer like me. He didn’t attend meetings and didn’t receive official briefings as we did but ran errands for his boss.

Not being a principal officer by status, he could not have had an office opposite my own. He may, however, have perched on a stool in one of those offices but I didn’t take particular notice of which one. He was, however, very personable at that time.

“Pastor’’ Reno lied by calling me an AGIP - meaning an unprincipled person ready to serve any government in power. The period he was referring to was one in which my boss ran into bad political weather and some of us around him were scapegoated. I was locked in DSS detention many times, my houses in Kano and Abuja broken into and valuables, including cash some of which were never returned were seized. I was going to court for two years and for the most part of which I didn’t have a passport. In the course of that trial, the judge presiding called back my lawyers, Niyi Akintola, SAN and Rickey Tarfa, SAN, after an adjournment to say that “I didn’t mean that he should be kept in DSS detention. I said he should be taken to Kuje Prison,” and that’s where I was kept. Under detention in the DSS I was stripped down to the pants and photographed head to toe. All that didn’t make one to capitulate.

When they lost to Muhammadu Buhari in the party primaries, the candidates in that race, Governor Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, Rochas Okorocha and Sam Nda-Isaiah surrendered their media assets to the winner who had the grace to ask me to lead the media team. When we won, he (then President-elect Buhari) invited me to serve as one of his two spokespersons and I pledged 100 per cent loyalty to him and that’s where I am. This cannot be AGIP by any standards.

Reno should stop lying, if only to help the pastoral calling to retain its good name. Otherwise he should quit the ministry.

All Na propaganda ......

To say that Reno is bringing ridicule to the name of God, is to make an understatement. His criticisms are always offcolour and full of exaggeration and insults. That's the difference between him and pastor Tunde Bakare. The latter has been criticising Buhari, but he does it with decorum, not making silly comments and wanting to air your opinion on every issue and even having to insult animals owned by the president. How shameful!

I pity anyone that see RENO OMOKRI as role model

breeze don blow, fowl yansh don open BTW Osinbajo and Adesina don drop their pastoral calling, na their belle calling them dey do now

Take for example Pastor Emeka Izeze and his brother, Pastor Ifeanyi, or his friend, Pastor Segun Babatope. And lately, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President and Pastor Femi Adesina.

Can Shehu, from the bosom of his heart tell his grandchildren that these duo kept their pastoral callings (if at all they ever) during their days in power?

Let the game start.... Onye gba oso npa ya... I trust reno my man....

Lol

I really pity anyone who believe Buhary is not kworupt.

Anyone who also believe this fraudulent administration will deliver CHANGE should be banish to the evil forest.

Is Reno a pastor? I doubt if he has not sold his soul for money.

its not over yet!

"new-day pastor"

It's unfortunate this advice is coming from a muslim

Reno is not a pastor, just using that tag to attract sympathy.

Like the fraudulent evil man in Aso rock who promised CHANGE but delivering CHAIN-GE.

So this is the only one you want to defend yourself abi

Shehu abi nsiewu Reno said many things about you and your dullard pay Master we also want you to prove him wrong

Reno please fire on ,the Gates of buhari shall not fall prevail

Reno has not insulted anyone. He spoke the truth.
Are Buhari's cows not homosexuals? Otherwise what stopped them from reproducing for 3 years now?

Reno is a good role model , at least he hasn't incited his members to violence like your Islamic clerics would do.

My problem with this government and it's followers, is that they always prefer to attack the personality of anyone who speak out against the government instead of the issues raised. Especially when they have nothing intelligent to counter the opposition.

Why is Garba Shahu trying to subtly and unintelligently bring religion into this?
Presidential persons for this administration most times do more harm than good when they speak. Speaking out of sentiments(bitterness and hatred), instead of intelligently and logically.

Mention the lies Reno said and counter them with the truth and facts. Calling him names and trying to malign his personality is very unintelligent and unpresidential.

If Reno is a lying Pastor, I wonder what we'll call Osinbanjo and Femi Adesina?

Reno, pastor; Femi adesina, pastor

The only lying pastor I know is OSINBANJO

Thanks smiley

Just call him a politician, but pastor? Man, don't even go there...
I wonder why a pastor will be having a different revelation than the prophet for his generation. There's something called the present truth. Any pastor that is not tune in is not right.

So Reno is also a pastor?


Wonder shall never end.

Reno “The errand boy” , he is still on errand.

Ok, continue exposing each other
