Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has said the only way Nigerians will accept President Muhammadu Buhari is when he reveals the nature of his illness.
Omokri, a staunch critic of Buhari’s government, however, congratulated the president on his return from the United Kingdom.
The former presidential aide further explained that being a critic of the president does not mean hatred for him but that every democratic government needs a political opposition.
Omkoti on his Twitter page wrote;
“I speak the truth about Buhari. No one can argue that he is not an ineffective leader who should go and God willing, will go in 2019. But he is first a human being. I felicitate with him as he returns from his medical trip to London and pray that his health continues to improve.I am probably one of President @MBuhari’s most consistent critics, but I wish him well as he return from The UK. Political opposition isn’t hatred. It is a necessary ingredient of democracy without which the government will soon become dictatorial and take the people for granted.
“I welcome President @MBuhari back to Nigeria from medical trip to UK. I commend him for honestly admitting the reason for his trip to Nigerians despite the sensitivity of the issue and the type of politics we play in Nigeria. Finally, I pray for God to grant him good health.”
