Judas: How Reno Omokri handles Atiku, Tinubu in public, private - Paul Ibe

Paul Ibe, an aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has stated that his former teammate, Reno Omokri, is a pastor full of contradictions.

This was after Omokri defended himself against attacks by Ibe and other aides of Atiku, whom he had previously dumped to sing the praises of President Bola Tinubu.

In a social media post, Atiku's aide described Omokri as Judas Iscariot, who flatters Atiku in private but dances with Tinubu in public.

He said, "Reno Omokri, since you claim deep familiarity with Scripture, perhaps it's time the mirror of the Bible was held to your face. For a man who parades himself as a pastor, your conduct reeks of contradiction — not unfamiliar to the pages of sacred text, but sadly, you resemble not the righteous but the reprobate.

"Let’s take a walk through the Word, shall we?

"Judas Iscariot – 'Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?' (Luke 22:48).
You flatter Atiku in private, yet dance publicly with Tinubu’s minions. You kiss with praise, but your heart trades loyalty for political relevance. A Wi-Fi Judas — Connected, Calculated, and Corrupt in conviction.

"Ananias and Sapphira – 'You have not lied to men, but to God.' (Acts 5:4).
You wear the garment of a preacher, but traffic in lies like a street vendor of falsehood. Your declarations of loyalty are rehearsed, your convictions auctioned to the highest bidder. Today, Atiku. Tomorrow, Tinubu. Always for sale.

"The Pharisees – Woe to you...hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs… (Matthew 23:27)
Your piety is public, but your principles are dead. You quote Scripture while scheming, tweet morality while sowing division, and mask ambition as activism. A tax collector for hire in a priest’s robe.

"Absalom – Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. (2 Samuel 15:6).
You woo the naïve with charisma and charm, not for service, but self-elevation. Your politics is a personal uprising cloaked in concern. You don’t serve ideas — you serve yourself. Pick a god, Reno.

"Ahithophel – “Even my close friend, one I trusted, who shared my bread, has turned against me.” (Psalm 41:9).
Trusted once. Betrayed often. You leak counsel while courting new thrones. Like Ahithophel, you wander from loyalty to loyalty — not for truth, but for traction.

"Reno, your tragedy is not that you don’t know Scripture. It is that you do — and still choose to live on the wrong side of it."
