Reno Omokri, former aide to
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday berated President Muhammadu Buhari
for rejecting the Peace Corps bill.
The United States based pastor
blasted Buhari for saying there was no money to fund the Corps but is allegedly
trying to fund the establishment of cattle colonies.
In a tweet, Omokri wrote: “The
same President Buhari that wants Nigeria to use public funds to build cattle
colonies for his Fulani kinsmen is the same President Buhari who rejected the
Peace Corp Bill because he says there’s no money. There‘s money for cattle
colony, but no money for peace. Well done sir!”
Recall that Buhari had on
Tuesday, in a letter, cited security concerns as reasons for withholding assent
to the bill seeking to establish Peace Corps.
But reacting to Buhari’s
rejection of the bill, the Corps Commandant, Dickson Akoh alleged that the same
people who “fought” the Peace Corps bill prior to its passage by the National
Assembly advised the President against giving assent to the bill.
Were it to be a Northern Fulani that initiated Peace Corp, it would have been approved, but unfortunately Akor is not one of them. Nigeria!!!!! Indeed there was a country
