On Monday, October 17, Tinubu revealed that he has been warned by his media handlers to always stick to reading scrips prepared for him

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday, April 13 referred to Anglican priests as Islamic scholars.

The former Lagos state governor made the comment while addressing the congregation at the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew in Owo, Ondo state.

The event was a church service ahead of the burial of the mother of Ondo state governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu.

Speaking in Yoruba language, Tinubu called the priests seated behind him at the podium 'Alfa' a Yoruba word mostly used to address Islamic scholars.

The comment by the APC presidential candidate elicited loud reactions from the congregation.

However, language experts say the word can be also be used to describe Christian clerics, noting that there is nothing wrong with it.

Tinubu na Olodo gbogbo

Hehehe

Mumu man

The translation of priest in Yoruba is Alufa

If you doubt me, borrow any Yoruba Bible and search any part of the Bible where priest is mentioned, and check what is there...

Political Accusers are everywhere accusing for illogical things...

Yup.

Whether you are Christian or Muslim, it is always "Alufa"

Tinubu should have respected the church & Christianity by making use of the word priest rather than using alfa.

If it was vice versa, and a Christian calls "alfa" a "pastor" right in the mosque, the Muslims would have been demanding for head of the Christian.

That was how you Muslims killed late Deborah. Religion of peace indeed.

Baba should be in retirement home. Associates and urchins are just stressing this old man.

Another gbas gbos! Since priest are more called "woli" than "Alufa" why call them the latter? All these gaffes are not ordinary but deliberate attempts to malign the Christian faith because Tinubu can never try this with Islam.

Hebrews 7:12

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Lol like woli agba right? It seems Tinubu has now corrupted you guys brain such that you try to criticize almost everything he does and say.

Imagine a non-Yoruba thinking he understand Yoruba word than an ojulowo Omo Yoruba.

Omo Ibo, stop talking about what you don’t know. Priests are referred to as ALUFAS in Yoruba language and evangelists are referred to as WOLIS. Stop disgracing yourself in the name of politics.
