Fake Bishops Exposes Tinubu: “They Picked Us At The Car Park, Promised Us N100,000”

Fake Bishops narrate how Tinubu picked them up at a car park and promised to give them N100,000 to pose as priests.

Touchaheart reports that one of the phony bishops who was reportedly used by Bola Tinubu’s campaign to announce Kashim Shettima as the vice presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria has described how he was compensated for the appearance.

The imposter, who identified himself to Peoples Gazette as Joseph Odaudu, said Tinubu’s hirelings broke a mutual agreement to be paid N100,000 for the shady job.

“They came to meet us at the car park behind Eagle Square and they promised to give me N100,000. They bought food for us and took us to another place where they gave us clothes to dress like Christian leaders and reverend fathers,” Mr. Odaudu told The Gazette shortly after the event in Abuja on Wednesday. “But after we finished they only gave me N40,000 and another person said they got only N30,000. I don’t know why they changed our agreement because they said they had N100,000 for us.

“I am a Christian and I am supporting Tinubu but I hate when people lie and fail to deliver on their promises,” he added.

When contacted for comment, a spokeswoman for Tinubu’s campaign did not respond right away.

This online news outlet is aware that, despite harsh criticism from the Christian community and opinion leaders in the nation, the fake bishops dressed in cassocks appeared to mislead Christian voters into believing that Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim northerner as his running-mate for the 2023 general election was good for Nigeria.

Touchaheart Nigeria discovered that the Catholic Church had denied having a presence at the gathering held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, calling those who attended “impostors.”

When asked if he knew that it was illegal to disguise as a Catholic bishop, Odaudu insisted he didn’t break any laws.

“No law was broken we only tried to show Nigerians that Christians are solidly behind Asiwaju Tinubu,” he added.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had voiced its opposition to the All Progressives Congress’s governing decision to field a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 election and kicked against the move.

Additionally, following protests and harsh condemnation from Nigerians, Christian leaders in the APC have repeatedly warned that the same religion ticket would spell disaster for the party.
