Apostle Kassy Chukwu, General Overseer of Peniel Global Ministries and Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, is facing backlash online after an old video of him resurfaced.
In the viral clip, the cleric declared that anyone endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would face misfortune and vowed to leave Nigeria if Tinubu won, calling him “a stupid man” from his church altar. The video has sparked massive reactions as Apostle Chukwu now supports Tinubu’s re-election bid and recently celebrated him on his 74th birthday.
The video has trended again because the same cleric has switched his political allegiance from Labour Party candidate Peter Obi to the All Progressives Congress (APC) under Tinubu’s leadership. During a Sunday service back then, Apostle Chukwu strongly condemned Bola
Tinubu, saying:
“Anybody that will endorse Tinubu, that person’s family, they will not enjoy 2022. Anybody that will endorse Tinubu for presidency, bad thing will begin to happen to that person. If Jagaban rule this country as Nigeria, I will leave this country. You will not see me again. He will not come. He’s a stupid man.”
Weeks ago, he made a U-turn, regretting his support for Peter Obi in 2023, and has now openly backed Tinubu for re-election in 2027. On 29 March, he also posted a lengthy message celebrating Tinubu’s 74th birthday.
The resurfaced video has caused massive reactions online. Netizens expressed shock and amusement at the dramatic shift in his position:
@DayoEkundayoJohnson: “But he said only 2022, we’re 2026🤣🤣🤣 ‘old things are passed away.’”
@EzeSamson: “Look at the pastor now the prayer will now go back to his generation.”
@MarksonTolofari: “Don’t blame a fool, that thinks he is fooling The fools 😂😂😂😂.”
@LawalAdegboyegaEmmanuel: “Who dash am Apostle?? Apostle of drifters and smartalec… That woman rapper.”
@MalachiEgwim: “Something has started happening to the pastor 😁😁😁😁😁.”
@Kbadiabackup: “Where are his brethren who was in church on this day?”
@OsobaOsah: “Hunger can be sometimes bad and can make some people to think upside down.”
Earlier, a separate viral video showed Apostle Kassy Chukwu commenting controversially that if the wives of corrupt politicians started poisoning their husbands, Nigeria would be better, sparking outrage online.
Apostle Kassy Chukwu’s old video criticizing Tinubu has reignited discussions as he joins APC and publicly supports the president.
