Reno Omokri, a former
presidential aide, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for saying Nigerian
youths should seize opportunities in agriculture to uplift their standards of
living.
Recall that the President’s
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a
statement in Abuja on Tuesday, said Buhari made the call at a meeting with the
Chief Executive Officers of six American agricultural companies and their
Nigerian counterparts in Washington DC.
He said, “Our youths, the ones
who have gone to school and even those that have not, should go to the farm, to
earn respect for themselves.
“Agriculture is providing jobs
for millions of our citizens and we are doing well towards the attainment of
food security and jobs.
“The media may not appreciate the
work we are doing but we will shock them by the success we are recording.’’
However, reacting through his
Twitter handle on Wednesday, Omokri said Buhari was a clueless President for
asking Nigerian youths to go and farm to earn his respect.
According to him, herdsmen would
kill the youths if they go to farm.
He wrote: “President Buhari asked
Nigerian youths to go to the farm to earn his respect.
“When they go to farm and are
killed by killer herdsmen, is it his condolence message they will earn? What a
clueless President! Youths are not farming because of laziness. They are afraid
of herdsmen!”.
