Reno Omokri, former aide to the former resident, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has shredded Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s presidential declaration speech saying it “was emptier than the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) certificate of the President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Recall that Osinbajo had earlier today announced his intention to run for the office of the president on 2023.
The vice president made the declaration in a short broadcast shared via his Twitter handle after many months of below the line campaigns by his supporters.
“I am today, with utmost humility formally declaring my intention to run for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of All Progressives Congress,” he said
Reacting to the declaration, Omokri, in a series of tweets, also challenged Osinbajo’s supporters to list any achievement that could qualify him (Osinbajo) to be Nigeria’s president.
He said he was ready to give $1000 to any supporter who is able to list the vice president’s achievements.
“He Osinbajo’s declaration speech was emptier than Buhari’s WAEC certificate! He talked for almost 7 minutes and could not name one tangible achievement. Only promises. After 8 years. Name one promise and its fulfilment from that speech, and I will pay you $1000.
“Can you name a specific achievement Osinbajo listed in his declaration speech and get $1000? Not promises. I refer to achievements. For instance, ‘I promised this in 2015, and I delivered this in 2022’. I need one Osinbajo supporter to respond and get $1000,” Omokri said.
Some other Nigerians also took to the social media platforms and reacted variously to Osinbajo’s interest in the presidency.
Here are some of the tweets:
