Former aide to ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a
“common thief.”
Omokri said this while rubbishing
claims by Buhari that his victory in Saturday’s presidential election was “a
victory for all Nigerians.”
Condemning Buhari’s claim, the
former presidential aide wondered why Nigerians were allegedly in a mourning
mood, following the declaration of Buhari as President.
In a tweet, Omokri maintained
that Buhari was unpopular because a national condemnation greeted his emergence
at the polls.
He tweeted: “President @MBuhari
says his election is ‘a victory for all Nigerians’, yet the nation is in
mourning mode.
“The truth is self evident. If he
were truly popular, there would be nationwide celebrations. Instead, there is
national condemnation. You are thief Buhari. A common thief!”
The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, had on Wednesday declared Buhari winner of
Nigeria’s 2019 presidential election.
Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu
made the declaration at the ICC Collation centre in Abuja.
Buhari polled a total of
15,191,847 votes, compared to the 11,262,978 votes recorded by Atiku Abubakar,
the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
While Atiku had gained more
votes, winning the incumbent President with wide margins in States in the South
East and South-South, Buhari gathered insurmountable strength in the North.
A total of 73 presidential
candidates participated in the election which held on Saturday.
