Former digital media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Pastor Reno Omokri has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over his Independence Day speech where the sitting president lambasted Igbo elders for their failure to curtail Biafra agitators.

In a social media post, Omokri said, “Today, it is quite sad that President Buhari, who never offered to help during the Boko Haram crisis, now declares that he is ‘disappointed’ in the leaders of the South-east for not reining in the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Pray, whose job is it to tackle security challenges between an elected president and an unelected council of elders?”

Omokri also criticized President Muhammad Buhari over the poor state of the economy under his leadership.

“By the testimony of CNNMoney, he inherited an economy that was the third fastest growing economy in the world, with only China and Qatar growing faster. By the testimony of the British Government, he inherited the fourth fastest growing economy in the world. Whether you take the testimony of CNNMoney or that of the U.K. government, the fact is that we were one of the world’s most progressive economies.

“Also, on May 29, 2015, President Buhari inherited an economy that by the evidence of the World Investment Report, prepared by the Geneva-based United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad), the number one destination for foreign direct investment in Africa,” Omokri stated.

Omokri said Buhari’s remarkable display of ineptitude led to a negative turnaround of Nigeria’s economic fortune in only six months.

“Also, from being the top destination for foreign investment, Nigeria experienced unprecedented capital flight because of the Buhari administration’s Stone Age voodoo economics, which, according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, led to a job loss of six million jobs and the closure of thousands of manufacturing firms and other concerns in the real sector.

“It should be noted that from being one of the best performing currencies in the world under President Jonathan the naira, by evidence of Bloomberg, was the world’s fourth worst performing currency in 2016 having lost more than 100 per cent of its value under Jonathan,” he said.
