Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has lashed out at presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, stressing that the appointment of Femi Fani-Kayode as the latter’s spokesperson ahead of the 2023 presidential election was one of his happiest days this year.
In his words: “One of the happiest days of this year for me was the day Tinubu appointed Femi Fani-Kayode as one of his spokesmen. This is a man who said on video that as long as Christ lives, Tinubu will never be President.”
Recounting how Fani-Kayode had in the past sworn that Tinubu “will never be President as long as Christ lives”
Omokri claimed that the APC presidential candidate cursed himself with the appointment.
He also said that Tinubu cursed himself by appointing Fani-Kayode as his spokesperson.
“Then Tinubu added his ‘amen’ by appointing him his spokesman! Tinubu cursed himself. Even Tinubu knows that you cannot stop a ‘church rat from eating a poisoned holy communion’. As long as he rejected FFK, he rejected that prayer. But by embracing FFK, he embraced that prayer,” Omokri asserted.
Omokri is a Nigerian author and social media influencer. He was the host of Transformation with Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching TV show broadcast (for one season) on San Francisco’s KTLN-TV and Detroit’s Impact Network.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Omokri is a Vice President of Joe Trippi and Associates, a U.S political consulting firm.
As the Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, he was noted for using social media to conduct surveys and draw attention to the projects of the Nigerian Government.
In 2011, Omokri called for Nigerians living outside Nigeria, to endorse Jonathan for the 2011 elections. He was a signatory of a letter by a group known as G 57 that called for the resignation of Yar’adua.
Between 2015 and 2016, Omokri was the host of Transformations With Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching program broadcast on Comcast, DISH Network and Roku. The 30-minute weekly telecast was produced by the Mind of Christ Christian Center in California.
Since 29 May 2015, Omokri has continued to be opposed to the policies of the current Nigerian government and has had conflicts with the Nigerian authorities. He has also been a noted conservative, calling for a restoration of the moral fabric of society.
