Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has claimed that an
information about terrorists’ plan to bomb the Moshood Abiola Stadium, on
Tuesday, made President Muhammadu Buhari stay away from the World Cup
qualifying playoff between Nigeria and Ghana.
For an important match such as the World Cup qualifying
playoff with Ghana, the President would have been expected in the stand, as his
physical presence would serve as motivation for the players.
The game was played in Abuja and the President is in the
country,
And Nigeria’s Minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, had
disclosed that Buhari may likely be present at the Moshood Abiola stadium for
the second leg tie.
However, some gunmen suspected to be terrorists bombed the
Abuja-Kaduna train between Katari and Rigina axis on Monday night, leaving
hundreds of passengers dead in the attack.
Many passengers were said to have been initially kidnapped,
including Zamfara State former deputy Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Wakkala Liman
Others were shot dead and an unascertained number of the
passengers also sustained various degrees of injuries as a result of gunshots.
Reno Omokri also slammed Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who he said had
before now, been “campaigning for the terrorists.”
“He is quiet now. But if anything is done against these
terrorists, Gumi will shout, and Buhari will support him. We are really cowards
in this country. People like Gumi, know those behind these attacks!” Omokri
tweeted.
Omokri quoted Gumi, who once said that “bandits don’t kill
anybody”
Furthermore, Omokri lamented the second attack by terrorists
on a train station in less than 24 hours, recalling on May 8, 2014, when
“General Buhari asked then President Jonathan to resign if he could not secure
Nigeria.”
He added that, “It is now clear that Buhari needs to take
his own counsel! Nigeria is on autopilot!”
Making further claims, Omokri, who worked under the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan, said, “The Super Eagles were told that
Buhari would attend today’s match. That upset them. The reason he did not turn
up was not because of the Kaduna train bombing. Buhari does not care about
that. He did not attend because security report said the stadium would be
bombed.”
He went on to lambast the minister of transport, Chibuike
Amaechi, accusing him of being incompetent.
