Reno Omokri, former media aide to ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan, on Friday endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office.
His endorsement comes hours after the leadership of the
National Assembly and 22 state governors at an APC summit declared Tinubu as
the party’s sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
Mr Omokri charged all Nigerians to support Tinubu, noting that
in two years, he reduced the country’s national debt by $14 billion from the
$108.2 billion inherited from the Buhari administration to $94.2 billion.
“On behalf of #RenosNuggeteers locally and globally, on this
day of our Lord, Friday, May 23, 2025, I wholeheartedly endorse the President
of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for a second term in office, God sparing
his life,” he wrote on X.
“I urge all my supporters to line up behind the president’s
Renewed Hope Agenda so we can unite as one nation under God to make Nigeria
great again.
“President Tinubu has reduced our total national debt by $14
billion from the $108.2 billion he inherited from the Buhari administration on
May 29, 2023, to $94.2 billion today.
“Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, has completely,
entirely, and totally paid off its debt to the International Monetary Fund. The
IMF itself has struck us off the list of IMF debtor nations, which confirmed
this in an official release on its website.”
Omokri praised Tinubu for ensuring that academic calendars
in Nigerian universities have been uninterrupted by industrial action since he
came into power.
The former presidential media aide highlighted the
Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the Sokoto-Badagry Express Way, East-West Road
and the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Highway as some ongoing projects that the Tinubu
administration should be commended for.
Omokri said Tinubu had outperformed ex-President Muhammadu
Buhari in security, claiming that “throughout the eighth year of General
Buhari, not a single bandit leader was arrested, killed or convicted. But under
the Tinubu administration, more than fourteen notoriously murderous bandit
leaders have been killed.”
He said that during Buhari’s eight years, parts of Katsina,
Zamfara, Sokoto and other states were occupied by bandits and that Nigerians
living in Abuja could hardly travel to Kaduna.
“All that is history, as Nigeria is now more secure and has
moved up in the Global Terror Index from the third most insecure country under
Buhari to six. Therefore, I urge all Nigerians to join me and others in
supporting President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office by 2027,” he
added.
Omokri met Tinubu in October 2024 for the first time since the latter’s election in 2023.
