Former presidential media aide and social commentator Reno Omokri has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari over his offer to help Ghana fight corruption. The Nigerian leader had on Tuesday, during Ghana’s Independence Day Anniversary ceremony, offered to assist the country end corruption.
”Your Excellency can be assured that you have a good partner in me as I look forward to any form of collaboration between Nigeria and Ghana in tackling the menace of endemic corruption,” Buhari said at the occasion.
“From Nigeria, I have watched closely your achievements, ranging from your ingenious approach to creating jobs for the teeming youths through various initiatives, including the repositioning of agriculture for modern farming, ‘Farming for Jobs and Food’, Senior High School (SHS) free education, One-District-One-Factory, and One-Village-One-Dam as well as the improvement being recorded in the Republic’s macroeconomic indicators.”
But Omokri, in a series of tweets on Wednesday, wondered how Nigeria could help Ghana in this case when international ratings show the former Gold Coast is less corrupt than the most populated black nation in the world.
”That’s how Buhari disgraced Nigeria after Munich Shooting by offering to help Germany fight terror. Imagine Nigeria rated the world’s 4th most terrorized nation, wanting to help one of the least terrorised nations. PMB should be in a retirement home, not a Presidential Villa.,” he tweeted.
