Reno Omokri, a former aide to
ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has mocked the national leader of the
ruling All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over his
purported ambition to become president or back Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to
take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Omokri was reacting to a
statement credited to the former secretary to the government of the federation,
Babachir Lawal, that there is no guarantee that Vice-President Osinbajo would
even be given the party’s ticket in 2023.
The ex-SGF had said, “Every part
of Nigeria can produce a president, a competent one.
“Hey myself, my friend, I can be
president of this country. I consider myself quite competent to do so from a
small tribe of 300,000 people. There are so many such tribes that can produce
good, competent leaders all over Nigeria.
“Even if it is in the north, if
we say the north-west has produced a presidential candidate, the south-west had
produced one, I don’t see why the north-central cannot produce or the
north-east cannot produce just as south-south, south-east, south-west and even
north-west can still produce.
“The constitution doesn’t say it
is prohibited. And as I said, I believe every zone, every state, has capable
people that can run this country effectively.”
Reno, in a post on his Twitter
handle, however, claimed that the northerners only waited for Tinubu to
convince his people in the Southwest to vote for Buhari’s re-election before
landing him the major blow.
He said, “I like Junaid Mohammed
and Babachir Lawal.
“They just waited for Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu to convince his people to vote for the munafiq called Muhammdu
Buhari and today, at different occasions, they both unleashed their
bombshell-SOUTH SHOULD FORGET ABOUT 2023. I am laughing #NextlevelRegret.”
