Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has mocked outgoing governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over a claim that he would be Nigeria’s President someday.
KanyiDaily had reported that Okorocha made a vow on Sunday during his valedictory thanksgiving service held at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, to become the president of Nigeria. He said:
“I tell you, I am the most criticised person in Nigeria today. I don’t know why the entire elite hate me with cruelty.
“My Senate ambition is still a battle. More than 30 people have joined the suit to fight me. All these, I will overcome.
“They are only preparing me for the glory ahead. Mark it, I will be president of Nigeria. I said this on this altar so that the kingdom of God will rise against those fighting to stop me.”
In reaction to the statement in a tweet, Omokri made a mockery of Okorocha, and said that he will only become the president of Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). He wrote:
“Rochas is NOT lying when he said “Mark my words, I will be president of Nigeria”. That prophecy is accurate. @RealRochas Okorocha will become President of Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers. As the founder of #IBERIBERISM, he will be a good fit!”
