Following the reports of a triple suicide attack that killed thirty people on Sunday in Borno state, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has sought to find out why exactly did Nigerians vote Muhammadu Buhari when according to him everything has gone worse since he (Buhari) rose to power.
According to the Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA)’s report on Monday, Three bombers detonated their explosives outside a hall in Konduga, 25 kilometres from the Borno state capital Maiduguri, where football fans were watching a match on TV, marking the biggest mass killing this year by suicide bombers.
Reacting, Omokri who is a fierce critic of the Buhari Administration noted how things have gotten worse under President Muhammadu Buhari than there were during the administration of former President Jonathan while asking what the country had gain ever since voting the present government into power.
“Boko Haram now kills more people than they did under GEJ. Bandits kill more people than they did under GEJ. Fuel subsidy is higher than it was under GEJ. According to Transparency, Nigeria is now more corrupt than in 2015. So, what did we gain with @MBuhari?” Omokri tweeted.
The author also lashed out at those who criticized Jonathan for certain policies and have lost their voices in the Buhari administration, labeling them hypocrisies.
“Those The same men who accused GEJ of tribalism for appointing an Ijaw man NSA are the same men rationalising why the entire 10 intelligence/law enforcement agencies in Nigeria and the heads of the Executive, Legislature & Judiciary are headed by Northern Muslim men” he tweeted.
Recall that president Buhari Muhammadu Buhari had come into power on the back of a promise to correct the mistakes of his predecessors, but having spent more than four years in power, many believe he is yet to truly deliver the change he promised.
As for the Borno attack, nine people died on the spot, including the operator, and 48 were injured,” according to Usman Kachalla, head of operations at the State Emergency Management Agency
Kachala said the high number of fatalities was because emergency responders had been unable to reach the site of the blast quickly. Nor were they equipped to deal with large numbers of wounded.
