Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, on Thursday claimed that Kashim Shettima, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), “arranged” the controversial Bishops who graced the latter’s official unveiling on Wednesday in Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the presence of men and women clad in clergy robes at the unveiling ceremony of the former Borno State governor as the vice-presidential candidate of the APC has elicited outrage on social media.
Since pictures and videos of the supposed clergy members surfaced on social media, many Nigerians have been dissecting and analysing the suitability of their garbs.
The ruling party has been at the receiving end of the flak, with critics alleging that the individuals are impostors hired to create the impression of an acceptance of the Muslim-Muslim ticket by the Christian community.
For Omokri, he believes Shettima – and not Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential flagbearer – is the brain behind the scene.
“The fake bishops were arranged by Shettima, not Tinubu. Watch this video. Notice Shettima said “I want to pay tribute to 30 bishops”. How did he know their number? He sat on the podium. Did he count them? The only way he could have known is because he arranged it!” Omokri wrote on his verified Twitter handle, with an accompanying video of Shettima.
HOW COULD ANYONE NOT HAVE KNOWN THE NUMBERS OF A GIVEN UNIFORM IN A GATHERING?
How senseless can some people be that you cannot count and know the number of a peculiarity and identifications.
Omokirkiri must be full of himself or engrossed in what you might call delusion of grandeur.
WITH A GOOD SENSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ABSURDITY AND CALL OUT AWFUL CHARACTERS. THEY THROW AWAY CAUTION DECORUM WHEN THEY CHOSE TO BE DISINGENOUS AND MISCHIEVIOUS.
Omokirikiri is full of it.
