READ Reno Omokri’s ‘Christian’ Advise To Oshiomhole

Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s aide, Reno Omokri has advised Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state to stop distracting President Muhammadu Buhari from the task of governance by attacking Jonathan.

According to him, the time spent attacking Jonathan should rather be invested into helping the new administration succeed.

Omokri recalled when on July 17, 2012, Oshiomhole visited Aso Rock Presidential Villa and on his way out he had a chat with State House correspondents and was full of praises for the then president.

Oshiomhole was quoted to have said: “We need to appreciate the President and encourage him to sustain this principle of truly reminding all of us, who hold political office, that we are at the mercy of the electorate, not of the Presidency. I think the President has done that. The President has demonstrated statesmanship. I think there is hope for Nigeria.”

The former presidential aide wondered how the same Oshiomhole could make a 180 degree turn three years later to attack the same person and suggest that he be stoned by the public.

Omokri pointed out some of Oshiomhole’s accusations that are false.

He said: “Only on August 21st, 2015, an investigation by Leadership Newspapers (whose publisher is an APC chieftain and former Presidential Aspirant on the platform of the party) revealed that no US official ever told Governor Adams Oshiomhole or any other person that one minister stole $6 Billion under President Jonathan’s watch and challenged the Comrade Governor to name the US official that said so and the minister involved.

“When the comrade Governor said that the Agricultural Transformation of the Jonathan administration was a hoax, did he know that the International Food Policy Research Institute, IFPRI, revealed in their annual Global Hunger Index that hunger in Nigeria reduced while Jonathan was President?

“This fact was carried by no less a medium than Premium Times and most Nigerians would know that Premium Times would not publish anything good about the Jonathan administration if it was not true.”

According to the former presidential aide, Jonathan is a man who has no lust for power, saying: “When Dr. Jonathan lost the March 2015 Presidential election, he did not wait for the Independent National Electoral Commission to finish declaring results before calling then candidate Muhamnadu Buhari to concede. As a result, for the first time in her history, Nigeria does not have any judicial challenge against the winner of a Presidential election.

“President Jonathan is a man of honour who does not deserve the treatment being meted out to him by Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

“The Comrade Governor should come to an awareness that his party, the All Progressive Congress, is now in power. They are no more in opposition.”

Omokri added that Jonathan’s administration remains the only administration in Nigeria’s history that promoted freedom of Speech by signing the Freedom of Information Bill into law.

He advised Oshiomhole not to try to please the present administration that may not be kind to him by demonizing a man who has been kind to you.

“First, you are telling the man who has already been kind to you that he was foolish for being kind to you.  Secondly you are communicating to the man who may be kind to you that he will be foolish if he goes on to extend kindness to you,” he added.

Omokri prayed that his Christian advise does not meet with the bombastic response that previous attempts at advising Oshiomhole has received.

“I mean no harm as I only want to draw the attention of Governor Oshiomhole to the fact that no condition is permanent on earth,” the former aide said.

In recent times, Edo state governor has accused Jonathan of a number of things. According to him, his government was forced to secure a loan of $75million from the World Bank because of Jonathan’s looting.
