Ex-aide of Former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, on Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sell nine of the 10 presidential jets he reportedly has.
Omokri, who made this claim in a post on his Twitter handle, lamented how the country’s economy continues to slip farther into recession while the president continues to run 10 presidential jets.
According to the Omokri, the only time the President travels is whenever he wants to see his doctors in the United Kingdom or while looking for who to lend him money.
He advised Buhari to cut his coat according to his clothes by selling nine out of the 10 presidential jets.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Omokri said: “We are in a recession, yet General Buhari has 10 Presidential Jets. The only travels he does is to go to his UK doctors or junket the world looking for who will borrow(sic) him money. Cut your coat according to your cloth, and sell 9 out of 10. This is why you should join #EndSARS.”
However, Twitter users in reaction to the post alleged that the jets were purchased when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in power and asked him to explain why he did not advise the opposition party to sell the jets when he was with former President Jonathan.
Omokri is yet to give a reply to the questions raised.
