Reno Omokri, a socio- political critic and strong loyalist and defender of Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 25th Presidential Election, has warned Atiku and the Party to refrain from attacking President Bola Tinubu, based on lies. If Tinubu is attacked based on lies, Omokri said, “God will appoint him greater.”
Omokri, in a post, was reacting to the strong allegation presented by Atiku, at the Presidential Election Petition Court, that President Tinubu, who was the Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, did not graduate from the Chicago State University. The papers presented to the PEPC, claimed that the name on the graduation list at the University, is that of a female, not a male.
However, Omokri disputed the claim with documents.
He said he travelled to Chicago, and went to the University, with the aim to disgrace Tinubu, but found out that not only did he attend the University, Tinubu, actually, graduated with honours.
His tweet reads: “I worked for Waziri Atiku Abubakar to win. I pray he unseats Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court. And I am not pursuing any political appointment or job offer from Tinubu.
However, it is false to assert that Bola Tinubu did not attend Chicago State University. I went there physically. I did a video broadcast from their campus. I met their officials. Tinubu attended and graduated from the Chicago State University with honours, and they even have a photo of him in their alumni office as one of their most accomplished alumni.
“Not only did I go there physically to expose Tinubu (only to find out that he attended), I also asked their registry to put what they told me in writing.
“Attached is the letter they gave me. You can also go there physically as I did, or email or phone them if you doubt this letter given to me.
“The man is no saint. His past cartel links indelibly taint him. But let us be fair, honest and transparent as we oppose him. If we attack Tinubu based om lies, God will just disappoint us further, and appoint him greater.”
