Omokri Reacts As Tinubu Is Sworn In As Nigeria’s President

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has broken his silence following the swearing-in of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria on Monday.

Recall that the swearing in ceremony took place today at the Eagles Square Abuja as Nigeria’s 16th democratically elected President.

The former Governor of Lagos State was sworn in by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kayode Ariowola, as former President Muhammadu Buhari vacates office today.

Reacting to the development, Omokri, who is a staunch supporter of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP, Atiku Abubakar, said he has not and will not congratulate the newly sworn-in president.

He wrote: 

“I don’t congratulate Bola Tinubu

I don’t celebrate Bola Tinubu

I don’t support Bola Tinubu

I don’t relate with Bola Tinubu

I don’t associate with Bola Tinubu

I don’t negotiate with Bola Tinubu

I don’t pray Bola Tinubu wins in court

 

“But, as from this moment, and until the final determination of our suit challenging his victory, I acknowledge that Bola Tinubu is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigerian, and urge the Nigerian armed forces to ignore the Black Monday proponents saying democracy is dead and be loyal to Nigeria’s Constitution and civil authority and preserve the status quo, unless or until changed by a court of competent jurisdiction,”
