Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has called on Minister of Information Lai Mohammed to stop “lying” while in the holy month of Ramadan. Omokri’s charge came in as a reply to Mohammed’s comment that President Muhammadu Buhari will easily ride to victory at the 2019 poll. The minister based his remark on Buhari’s fulfillment of campaign promises.
“Our administration is so confident of re-election in 2019 because of what are being delivered in terms of infrastructure and social welfare,” Mohammed had said on Tuesday. “The proper and easy ways you can get the electorate to vote for you are by keeping your promises to them, delivering on your promises and embarking on projects which touch their lives.”
However, the minister’s statement irked Omokri who took to his twitter page to urge him to abstain from lies during Islam’s holy month. “Lai Mohammed said Buhari’s re-election in 2019 will be easy because the APC has kept their campaign promises,” the former aide noted. “Can someone remind Lai that he is meant to be fasting during Ramadan and that fasting is not just abstaining from food, it includes abstaining from lies! Lai, fear God!!!” he added.
Meanwhile, the Presidential New Media aide Reno Omokri has condemned Rev. fr. Ejike Mbaka over his silence in the face of herdsmen killing and President Muhammadu Buhari’s praises of late Head of State Sani Abacha. In a post on his Twitter page on Thursday, Omokri wondered why Mbaka, a known supporter of Buhari, has gone silent despite the current negative happenings across the country.
Omokri wrote: “Where is Rev Mbaka now that Buhari is hero worshipping Abacha. Mbaka, a Catholic Priest, remained silent as Benue buried 2 Catholic Priests and 17 parishioners killed by Buhari’s herdsmen kinsmen. “This same Mbaka lied that Jonathan wanted to kill him! Is Mbaka proud of himself? “It is a good thing Rev Mbaka’s ministry is called Adoration Ministry.
“He can join President Buhari in his adoration of Abacha. 2 days ago the entire Catholic Church collectively protested the killings of Christians nationwide. On that day, Rev Mbaka FORGOT that he was a Catholic! “In 2015, Mbaka endorsed Buhari as the man God revealed to him He had chosen. Buhari replied, and I quote “”Mbaka is a great priest who was not afraid to speak truth to power. “What happened to Mbaka since then? He keeps quiet as Christians and Muslims are slaughtered under Buhari.”
