Don’t Allow Your Hate For Buhari Affect Love For Nigeria – Omokri Tells Other Critics

A staunch critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, Reno Omokri has urged other critics of the present government not to allow their hatred for President Buhari to affect their love for Nigeria.

The former special adviser to then President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media stated this while commending the presidential call between United States President, Donald Trump and his Nigerian counterpart on Monday.

He pointed out that the telephone conversation between the two leaders indicated a willingness to boost the relationship between United States and Nigeria.

Tweeting @renoomokri, the ex-presidential aide posted, "I salute both Presidents @realDonaldTrump and @MBuhari for their call which expressed a willingness to boost US/Nigeria relations.

"Don't allow hatred for @MBuhari affect your love for Nigeria. The @realDonaldTrump/@MBuhari call indeed took place and is good for Nigeria!

"Give @MBuhari his due. When opposition becomes hatred or death wish, it stops being Godly and becomes satanic. I am an opponent not a hater."

It would be recalled that Buhari on Monday spoke with his American counterpart on phone from London, where he is having an extended vacation. The call was at the instance of the U.S President.

Giving an insight into what the call was about, Buhari's spokesman, Femi Adesina disclosed that the "two leaders discussed ways to improve cooperation in the fight against terrorism through provision of necessary equipment."

He further stated that "President Trump encouraged President Buhari to keep up the good work he is doing, and also commended him for the efforts made in rescuing 24 of the Chibok Girls and the strides being taken by the Nigerian military."

Trump "assured the Nigerian President of US readiness to cut a new deal in helping Nigeria in terms of military weapons to combat terrorism."

The America President, according to the statement, also invited Buhari to Washington "at a mutually convenient date".
