Chrys
Reno Omokri, a former media aide
to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has said the recent knee surgery undergone
by rapper, Falz gave him a cause to rethink the president-elect, Bola Tinubu’s
mobility issues.
He said maybe it was wrong to
have mocked Tinubu over his health issues, adding that if Falz can have
mobility issues at 33, it shouldn’t have been seen as strange for it to happen
to Bola Tinubu at 71.
He stated this on his verified
Twitter handle on Saturday night.
Omokri wrote, “Last year, many
Nigerians mocked Tinubu for his mobility issues. But seeing a young artiste
like Falz undergo surgery on his knees makes me rethink Tinubu’s mobility
issues. I hope the Presidential Election Petition Court overturns his election
as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for two reasons.
First, his electoral ‘victory’ went against
the Electoral Act because almost 14,000 polling units had manual accreditation,
which is against section 47(3). Second is that his history as a cartel leader
is an embarrassment to Nigeria.
Having said that, maybe it was
wrong to have mocked him over his health issues, of which he has gotten his
mobility back. If it can happen to Folarin Falana at 33, it should not have
been seen as strange for it to happen to Bola Tinubu at 71. And it can happen
to anybody at any time.
May God forgive all of us who
erroneously made an issue of that, and may He grant Folarin good health to
continue his work of advancing Nigeria through music and political activism. In
Yeshua’s Name, I pray.”
