Tinubu achieved in one week what would have taken Buhari one year — Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, an aide of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has made a comparison of President Bola Tinubu and his predecessor, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari.

Omokri, a social commentator, made the comparison on his X handle citing a series of events in the last one week.

Among others, he listed the suspension of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu; the summon allegedly extended to the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo; and reduction in the entourage of the President, Vice President and their wives.

He also commended Tinubu for the sack of the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, Babatunde Irukera, and Director-General/CEO, Bureau of Public Enterprises, Alexander Ayoola Okoh; acting on the six weeks degree for cash programme by blocklisting Benin and other nations; announced plans to build a new Chinese-built steel plant in Nigeria; and launched the automated passport portal.

He also heaped praises on Tinubu for clearing the N12 billion outstanding for the Super Eagles and other national teams; commencement of payment of wage support benefits to civil servants; disbursement of N105.5 billion for 266 road repairs; and intervention in bringing peace in Sierra Leone after the foiled coup attempt.

Omokri then added: “In one week, Tinubu has achieved what Buhari would have taken one year to complete.

“This vindicates what I said during the campaigns, that any of the major Presidential candidates would have been better than Buhari.

“The downside is that the administration is not projecting these achievements.

“They probably need to understand that effective rebranding of Nigeria will only take place when we project positive things that are already happening.

“If you don’t blow your trumpet, your enemies wil

l blow your downfall.”
