The video of the moment has got Nigerians talking. Below are some of their reactions:
Ijem reiterated Odumeje's verses:
"Palava, go follow you. You and your family. Senator, palava go follow you. Governor, palava go join you o. President, you go face palava. No matter what you say about Odumeje, I love that he has repeatedly chosen to stand for truth when it comes to Nigeria and the problems with Nigeria. And this is a wonderful sermon by the way."
Alatika Baba commended the cleric:
"This man is better than most of these GOs who refused to say the truth to the government despite the suffering of the poor citizens. They see how government officials are stealing billions, and the pastors will keep quiet, but they will tell poor citizens to fast and pray."
