The much maligned Apostle Suleman might have found an unlikely ally in former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri.
The social critic took to his Facebook page to throw his weight behind the pastor saying that people don’t know the full story yet and as such shouldn’t crucify the man just yet.
He said, “Some of you are here on facebook spitting venom on Apostle Johnson Suleman for an accusation whose veracity you are not sure of.
“I just read from a fellow on facebook who wrote a statement with a lot of ifs. You are filled with ifs and yet you are making judgments? Rather than give the man the benefit of the doubt, you start casting aspersions and slurs.
“Do not wait until it happens to you before you know that there can be smoke without fire. If you have too much bile and venom inside you, then unleash on corrupt politicians. But before you bury Apostle Suleiman, I will urge you to wait until he dies.
Apostle Suleiman, I do not think you are guilty, but no matter the case, in good times and bad times I will stand by you!”
The Pastor has been in the limelight after his alleged affair with Stephenie Otobo came to light. It was also asserted that he’d had dalliances with Nollywood actress Daniella Okeke. This has led to a deluge of stories accusing the pastor of one indiscretion or the other.
Suleman has so far maintained that he’s innocent and even threatened to slam news agency Sahara Reporters with a N1bn lawsuit.
