Reno Omokri, a former media advisor to the president, has offered his opinion on Nigerian musician and performer Falz’s recent knee surgery.
Omokri claimed that Falz’s surgery had caused him to reconsider Bola Tinubu’s supposed mobility problems.
He claimed that Falz, who is only 33 years old, should not be treated the same way as Tinubu, who is 71 years old and suffering from knee problems.
According to the political analyst, the President-elect’s mobility problems are not particularly unusual.
He insisted that Tinubu’s inability to rule Nigeria should be based on his past as a drug leader and the anomalies in the presidential election.
Omokri 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.”
