Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has defended his support for President Bola Tinubu
Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has defended his support for President Bola Tinubu, asserting that Tinubu is implementing reforms originally proposed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In a statement shared with PUNCH, Omokri rebuked Atiku Abubakar’s media team for attacking him, despite his respect for the former Vice President.
“There is absolutely no reason for those around Waziri Atiku Abubakar to fight with someone who only has the utmost respect for the former Vice President,” he stated.
Omokri praised Tinubu’s delivery on key policies like fuel subsidy removal, naira flotation, devolution of power, and student loans.
“Our goal is Nigeria’s progress,” he said.
He emphasized that national progress should outweigh party allegiance, noting both Tinubu and Atiku hail from the same political tradition.
“I choose to suffer the insults… out of respect, not out of cowardice,” Omokri added, reaffirming his stance and pledging to counter opposition from Peter Obi.
