FCT, Abuja – Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has reacted to the photo of Niger state governor, Mohammed Umar Bago kneeling to greet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu after supporting Peter Obi on Ukraine donating food to Nigeria.
According to SaharaReporters, Bago backed Obi’s stance that it was shameful for Nigeria to receive food donations from war-torn Ukraine.
Bago stated this at the Leadership Award ceremony held at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on Tuesday, March 5.
“My boss, you are very right about what you’ve said. We have no reason to be poor. People may not like you, but they must hear you. What you say is the gospel truth.”
He added that:
“It is time we tell ourselves the basic truth. We need to feed ourselves. It is a shame for people like Ukraine in war to be giving us food.”
Reacting to Bago’s visit to Tinubu, Omokri asked if it was the same Niger governor that has gone to pay homage to the President after supporting the opposition. He wrote via his X handle, @renoomokri.
“Is this the same Governor Mohammed Umar Bago of Niger who was praising Peter Obi over his Ukraine comment yesterday?”.
