Hardship: Key Atiku Ally Continues ‘Subtle’ Defence Of Tinubu, Blames Buhari

Reno Omokri variously referred to as a political associate of Atiku Abubakar and former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan has continued his defence of President Bola Tinubu and this time blaming debts allegedly piled up by the Muhammadu Buhari administration for the hardship Nigerians are facing.

GWG.ng reports that Reno Omokri in a post on twitter also added the fact that Nigerians’ propensity for foreign imports as a major cause of the collapse of the naira besides his blame of the debts from the Buhari government.

GWG.ng reports that he spoke as the naira reached N1,880 to the dollar in the black market on Tuesday.

He said:

Things are hard in Nigeria because fuel subsidy has been ended, and the Naira has been floated. And the reason why is that Nigeria is broke. And Nigeria is broke because General Buhari borrowed more than all previous governments combined. We cannot keep borrowing to consume. Please fact-check me. If we keep borrowing, we will only pass the hardship to our children. Let us bear it now and pass prosperity to the next generation.

Many celebrities currently doing videos just want to trend. They neither understand the issues Nigeria is facing nor do they care. Others are unhappy with the result of the last election and are weaponising the current hardship to bring down the current administration. Listen, I, Reno Omokri, urge you to stand with Nigeria. Not with Tinubu. Tinubu is just a temporary occupant of Aso Rock. Whether in 2027 or 2031, he will leave one day.

We must do what India, China and South Korea did when they were in our shoes and #GrowNairaBuyNaija.

•Instead of MTN, Airtel or Etisalat, use Glo

•Rather than Mercedes, Range Rover, or Honda, buy Innoson or Nord

•Fly Air Peace over Air France, KLM, or Lufthansa

Nobody is coming to save Nigeria. It is only Nigerians that will save Nigeria. Local brands may or may not be as good as foreign ones, but with continued patronage, they will improve in quality. Buy them, and your Naira will rise along with your personal happiness and the international rating of the green Nigerian passport. Your value is tied to Nigeria’s value. Buy Nigerian and Nigeria’s foreign reserves, trade balances, and debt to GDP ratio will automatically improve.

GWG.ng reports that while some Nigerians commended Reno Omokri for his positive assertion on Nigerian products and the debts from the Buhari government, some, however, took him to task for failing to call those they described as his new friends in the new government. The call was against the background of his silence on the Tinubu government’s patronage for foreign vehicles both for the executive and the legislative branch of government.
