Outrage As Tinubu Links Climate Change To ‘Preventing Church Rat From Eating Poisoned Holy Communion’ [Video]

The presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has stirred controversy on social media after saying climate change is a question of how to prevent a church rat from eating a poisoned holy communion.

Tinubu Speaks On How To Tackle Climate Change

While taking questions from moderators at Arewa joint committee interactive session in Kaduna State on Monday, the APC presidential candidate was asked how he intends to tackle climate change if he becomes president.

But the Lagos former governor likened climate change to “preventing church rats from eating poisoned holy communion”, arguing that if the West doesn’t guarantee Nigeria’s finances, it will not implement policies on climate change.

“Climate change is a question of how do you prevent a church rat from eating a poisoned Holy Communion”

“If the West does not guarantee our finances, we will not comply with their climate change,” Tinubu was heard saying in a video.

“Prevent a Church rat from eating a poisoned holy communion”? This statement is a clear evidence Bola Tinubu has no iota of regard, respect and/or reverence for Christians, Churches and Holy Communion. It is utterly blasphemous to even use such wards as “poisoned Holy Communion” pic.twitter.com/2wsECvkzU2

A relic is asked about climate change & his response is about "Church Rat" and Holy Communion"

The desecration of the Church/Christianity by this APC trash is something else.

Can they take a little dose of what they give?

Shaky hands couldn't even read his prepared speech

What's it with Tinubu/Shettima and the Church?

The rate at which they denigrate d Church is alarming! The other time they assembled untrained charlatans and made them Bishops. Now, it's about poisoned Holy Communion. What makes it holy if it's poisoned? Can

This man never misses an opportunity to insult your faith.

Random person in my dm : "bro i love your satire you are very good at it, i admire your thought process, keep it up"

Me (my thought process): trying to draw a nexus between 'Climate change, a Church, a Rat, an holy communion, and a Poison.'

Dear Tinubu pls have mercy on us. pic.twitter.com/92WEE2g3jd

Give it up Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you're bereft of ideas! Your poor sense of coordination has nothing to do with old age. It's simply the Agbero in you refusing to hide itself, even in your speeches! Gid forbid BAT Thing!

At the Arewa Joint committee Bola Ahmed Tinubu was asked how he will handle climate change

Tinubu: is an issue of how to stop church rats from eating poisoned holy communion.

Was that supposed to be hyperbole, the figure of speech my literature teacher taught me in sec school

We heard about preventing a church rat from eating poisoned holy communion for the first time yesterday.
I served as a mass server for almost 10years and never heard of poisoned holy communion until yesterday l. That man is evil and a relic

Out of billions of things on the planet earth and beyond, how can anybody think of "Poisoned Holy communion" if not that he's mad? How?
How can anybody that is not very mad support this?

Some of you will make fatally flawed explanation on the blunder your candidate made thinking everyone here is a fool

In your explanation, what does poisoned holy communion connotes

Is there any continent as vulnerable as Africa to the effect of Climate Change 😩

When I heard Tinubu joke about church rat and poisonous holy communion. I just knew that one of those words must trend on twitter today. Baba is giving us back to back comedy every time he raises his left hand. Fear that hand 😂😂😂😂😂

The heart of Tinubu is actually dark, how did he think of poisoned holy Communion. 🌚🌚🌚

Bola Ahmed Tinubu will soon run sabinus and his colleagues out of the skit industry. 😁😁
What's the correlation between Poisonous Holy Communion and climate change?😭😭God is this even real?!

— NKEM #PeterObi2023 (@Nkemchor_) October 17, 2022

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu compared climate change with a church rat eating poisoned holy communion. As a writer, I have tried over and over to rationalize this statement. 💀
Is it a valid allusion? An idiomatic expression or what exactly? This man is new Sabinus of our time.

Who knows any church that poisons Holy Communion?

When Tinubu was asked about climate change at Arewa house ??? His answer
On Climate change, Tinuke said “it’s like stopping the church rat from eating holy communion, we don’t have money, we need to shine our eyes, look the West in the eyes and say to them, if you don’t give us

— Chief Ikukuoma (@IkukuomaC) October 17, 2022

KanyiDaily recalls that former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal had accused Bola Tinubu of hiring fake Christian groups to divide the church.
