Tuesday, November 19, 2024 -The Nigeria Youths Frontiers and Peace Advocates (NYFPA) has lashed out at social media activist, Reno Omokri.
This comes after he called Pastor Becky Enenche of Dunamis International
Gospel Centre a 'Yahoo girl on the altar.'
Omokri was reacting to a sermon by Becky on tithe.
Reacting to Omokri's outburst, the NYFPA described tagged his comment as “inflammatory,
baseless, and deeply irresponsible,” adding that they were unbecoming
of someone who presents himself as a political activist and public commentator.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Samuel
Geofrey, the group said, “Reno Omokri’s statements are an affront to
millions of Nigerians who revere their faith and spiritual leaders.
“His choice of words reflects a profound lack of respect for
Christianity and the principles of dialogue and mutual understanding in a
civilized society.”
The NYFPA further criticized Omokri’s controversial public record,
pointing to alleged inconsistencies in his career, personal life, and political
affiliations.
It accused him of using divisive rhetoric to maintain relevance, often
at the expense of unity and constructive discourse.
NYFPA reaffirmed its commitment to promoting truth, justice, and peace,
urging Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and focus on building a society
rooted in mutual respect and understanding.
“Omokri’s statements represent not only an
attack on Pastor Becky Enenche but also an affront to the millions of Nigerians
who hold their faith and spiritual leaders in high esteem.
“His choice of words betrays a profound lack of respect, not only for
Christianity but for the principles of dialogue and mutual respect that
underpin a civilized society.
“It is unfortunate that Omokri, who portrays himself as a moral and
political compass, has a history marred by inconsistency, self-serving motives,
and a penchant for stirring unnecessary controversies,” the statement
said.
