Apostle Kassy Chukwu's Past Criticisms of Tinubu Resurface Amid APC Alignment
Apostle Kassy Kelechi Chukwu, a prominent cleric and Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, is facing a backlash on social media after an old video of him cursing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu resurfaced online. The video, which was recorded before the 2023 presidential election, shows Apostle Chukwu strongly criticising Tinubu and warning people not to support him.
In the clip, Apostle Chukwu is seen speaking from the altar, calling Tinubu a "stupid man" and warning that anyone who endorses him will face negative consequences. He even went as far as saying that he would leave the country if Tinubu becomes president. However, weeks ago, Apostle Chukwu made a U-turn, revealing that he regretted supporting Labour Party candidate Peter Obi in the 2023 election. He has now openly declared support for Tinubu and expressed willingness to back him for re-election in 2027.
The resurfaced video has sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms, with many users expressing surprise and disappointment at Apostle Chukwu's sudden change of heart. Some have even questioned his motives and accused him of being a "drifter" who is easily swayed by personal interests.
The controversy surrounding Apostle Chukwu's past criticisms of Tinubu is a stark reminder of the complex and often divisive nature of Nigerian politics.
Apostle Kassy Chukwu's sudden flip-flop on Tinubu raises questions about the authenticity of his faith and the motivations behind his political alliances. It's a classic case of a public figure trying to have it both ways, and it's not sitting well with many Nigerians. The cleric's willingness to trade in his integrity for a chance to be part of the ruling party is a stark reminder that in Nigerian politics, loyalty and principle often take a backseat to personal gain.
