A former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has called out the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) over a $1m gift to Afghanistan by the president amidst the deteriorating security in the country, particularly the recent Kaduna train attack.
The socio-political activist noted that such an amount that was given to Afghanistan could have been spent on security in Nigeria and could have prevented an incident like the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
Omokri, in his tweets on Wednesday, said, “Dear Buhari, Just this month you gave $1 million to the terrorist government of Afghanistan. That money could have bought 10 bomb detectors for the Abuja-Kaduna rail. You spent $8 million on repentant Boko Haram. Wouldn’t that have been best spent on bomb detectors?”
He said that Buhari had 10 Presidential jets and more than 10 Mercedes Benzes worth over ₦1 billion, but could not provide even one bomb detector for the Abuja-Kaduna rail, six months after it was first bombed on October 22, 2022.
“Nigeria has 2 terrorists. Buhari and the bandits,” he tweeted.
Omokri also said, “The machine that would have detected bombs on the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks cost about ₦180 million. Yet, the Buhari regime did not purchase it. But Buhari spent over ₦200 million buying a bulletproof Mercedes Maybach for himself. Buhari cares only about himself!”
He added, “How many people did IPOB kill before Buhari threatened them with his now infamous ‘speak to them in a language they understand’ tweet? How come he has not spoken to terrorists in the same language? Is it because they are from his tribe and not a dot in a circle?”
