Singer Peter Okoye has reacted to the video some persons dressed as pastors and bishops at the unveiling of former governor of Borno State Kashim Shettima as vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday.
The presence of the clerics which many have accused the party of hiring, caused a stir as onlookers and guests stared as they walked into the reception of the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, dressed in their cassocks.
Reacting to the video, Peter Okoye who earlier noted that impersonators have been using his name to scam people, wrote: “Fake bishops and even fake Peter Okoye! Naija!”
“I thought it was only fake Peter Okoye that is trending… They even created fake bishops today! God why?” He reacted in another tweet.
Others personalities also reacted on Twitter.
Popular social activist, Aisha Yesufu, wrote: “Why do you think fake bishops need to be used at the unveiling of Shettima? That is waste of time. There are many that will be honoured to be invited. Most religious rulers need bad governance to sell cheap miracles whether pastors or Mallams. Know this and have peace.”
#EndSARS activist, Rinu Oduala, joined others in reacting on Twitter via her handle, @SavvyRinu, saying, “The APC is fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket but went to rent fake bishops. What sort of ridicule is this? What message do they think this will send?”
