Reno Omokri, former Special
Assistant on New Media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has alleged that
President Muhammadu Buhari is backing the Arewa Youths who slammed a three
month-quit notice on Igbos residing in the North by remaining silent over the
anti-Igbo song circulating across the nation.
He also reminded the President of
the one-sided arrest during the recent Yoruba-Hausa clash in Ife, which
appeared to favour Northerners involved in the ethnic feud.
The former Presidential aide said
on Wednesday morning: “five days after it became public knowledge that an
anti-Igbo hate song is circulating in parts of Nigeria we have radio silence
from the Presidency.
“Vacationing President Muhammadu
Buhari, who condemned the Ozubulu killings in a statement, has nothing to say
about the anti-Igbo hate song. How won’t the anti-Igbo hate song take root when
the Arewa Youths who gave the Igbo quit notice are walking around freely in
public.
“In the wake of the anti-Igbo song, I remind
the Buhari administration that we’ve not forgotten the speed of their one sided
arrest during the Ife Yoruba-Hausa clash!”
Omokri, who also accused the
President of tyranny, condemned yesterday’s clampdown on anti-Buhari protesters
by officers of the FCT Police command.
He said: “the incident at the
Unity Fountain involving Charles Oputa and others only proves dictators may
grow old, but they don’t grow into democrats!
“These people including President
Muhammadu Buhari himself, Nasir El-Rufai, and other top shots of the present
All Progressives Congress government protested against Goodluck Jonathan and
were never tear gassed or harassed!
“Now what they enjoyed freely
under Jonathan, they deprive Nigerians of so brutally. Yet they called Jonathan
a ‘tyrant’.”
a well deserved song ....it is payback time for d foolish ndigbo
ReplyDeleteIts only in Nigeria that any individual, group or association are shot at and brutalized when they peacefully protest against infringement of their rights. This government sef tire me. I regret voting this man called Buhari.
