Reno Omokri, ex-aide to former
President Goodluck Jonathan, says even Aisha, wife of President Muhammadu
Buhari, knows her husband is “visionless”.
Omokri said this while reacting
to the attack on Senate President Bukola Saraki by Garba Shehu, spokesman of
the president.
Reacting to Saraki’s critical
comment, Shehu described Saraki as a very dangerous person who can “go any
length to promote his personal interests”.
But in a statement on Friday,
Omokri said Shehu’s attack on Saraki is “a case of the pot calling kettle
black.”
“I have just read a statement by
the presidency accusing the senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki, of
hypocrisy for disparaging President Muhammadu Buhari, who Mr Saraki called
visionless,” the statement read.
“President Buhari’s
visionlessness is evident in the fact that even one of the world’s richest men,
Bill Gates, looked President Buhari in the eye and told him right there at the
Presidential Villa that ‘your economic blueprint does not address Nigerian’s
needs’.
“Even the president’s wife, Aisha
Buhari, has borne witness of the President’s visionlessness when she said ‘he
is yet to tell me if he’ll seek re-election, but I have decided as his wife,
that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign
again and ask any woman to vote like I did before’.
“Evidence of President Buhari’s
visionless-abounds. Under him, Nigeria became the world’s headquarters for
extreme poverty as published by the World Poverty Clock, the World Economic
Forum and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
“Moreover, just three days ago,
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation published that young by the current
trajectory, if nothing changes, 30 percent of the world’s extremely poor people
will be in Nigeria by the year 2050.
“Ironically, the statement lambasting
Senate President Bukola Saraki was signed by Garba Shehu, President Buhari’s
spokesman.
“How can Garba Shehu attack
Bukola Saraki for once supporting Buhari in 2015 and now saying that Buhari
lacks vision in 2010? Did Garba Shehu not condemn Muhammadu Buhari while he was
special assistant on media at the presidency during former President Obasanjo’s
Peoples Democratic Party government? Evidence abounds. Does Garba Shehu deny
this?”
