Renowned opposition politician Reno Omokri recently took to social media to acknowledge several positive developments in Nigeria, while clarifying his stance as an opposition figure. In a post on his official account, Omokri highlighted various accomplishments achieved within a span of just two weeks.
Among the notable achievements he mentioned were the removal of fuel subsidies, the departure of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the resolution of a potential strike threat from the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the elimination of multiple exchange rates, the eradication of fuel queues, and a perceived acceleration in the pace of governance.
While some may have expected Omokri, a vocal opposition member, to criticize these developments, he surprised his followers by expressing a different perspective. He stated, “And you want me to attack the man who achieved this in just two weeks? I think I have to clarify my stance and stand.”
As an opposition politician, Omokri emphasized his role in opposing the ruling party and offering a better alternative when they make mistakes. However, he stressed that he is not a secessionist agitator using political activism as a means to undermine Nigeria. He made it clear that he loves his country and wants it to succeed, without any apologies.
Omokri’s remarks signify a nuanced approach to governance, where he appreciates positive developments irrespective of political affiliations. By acknowledging the achievements made by the ruling party, he demonstrates a willingness to support progress for the betterment of Nigeria as a whole.
While Omokri remains committed to supporting former Vice President Waziri Atiku Abubakar in his pursuit of justice at the Presidential Election Petition Court, his love for the nation remains undeterred. This clarification aims to dispel any misconceptions about his motivations and underscores his unwavering dedication to the success and prosperity of Nigeria.
As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Omokri’s perspective and actions will influence the country’s future political discourse.
