Tinubu made Buhari President not you – Reno Omokri attacks Northern Elders
By Seun Opejobi on May 18, 2017
Former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on
Electronic Media, Reno Omokri, has insisted that God used a national
leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu to install
Muhammadu Buhari as President and not Northerners.
Omokri, a Pastor currently in the United States, US, made the remark
while reacting to comments by the Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum,
Ango Abdullahi saying the Acting President will not be allowed to succeed Buhari in 2019 should the President die.
Abdullahi stressed that the Northern region must be allowed to field a
presidential candidate through the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
2019 should Buhari fail to seek re-election.
He, also, noted that in the situation of any eventuality, Osinbajo
should be allowed to complete the current tenure but will not be allowed
to contest in 2019.
But, Omokri, in his reaction, warned against such remark stressing
that should such crisis break out “today or in 2019,” the North will be
the most affected region.
Omokri, who took to his Facebook Wall wrote: “Ango Abdullahi has no
basis for saying that the North would not allow Professor Yemi Osinbajo
succeed Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. The North does not decide for Nigeria.
“Nigerians decide for Nigeria. What Ango Abdullahi seems to have
forgotten is that it was Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that God used to make
Muhammadu Buhari President in 2015.
“If the Northern Elders Forum could have made Buhari President, they
would have done so in 2003, 2007 and 2011 when Buhari tried
unsuccessfully to become President.
“Nigeria has changed. Unfortunately, people like Ango Abdullahi and
Junaid Mohammed, who add very little value to Nigeria and exist only to
make provocative statements, should realize that should their words
precipitate crisis today or in 2019, both they and those they represent
will be the biggest losers because they have more to gain from a united
and peaceful Nigeria founded on the rule of law than others.”
