Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has alleged that the issue of President-elect, Bola Tinubuโs Guinean citizenship is a deliberate attempt to divert attention over his whereabouts.
OsunDaily News reports that the social-political activist made the claims on Facebook as he raised concern over the whereabouts of the former governor of Lagos State.
Recall that a statement issued by Tinubuโs media office, Tunde Rahman in March, said Tinubu traveled to France where he would plan his transition programme.
However, his long absence from the country has generated questions about his whereabouts from the opposition parties.
Speaking on the development, Reno, lamented that Tinubu has not made any public appearance in the last one month and Nigerians should not be distracted by the issue of the Guinea passport.
Reno noted that anyone who has evidence of dual citizenship should take the issue to court and Nigerians should focus on Tinubuโs whereabouts.
He added that Tinubuโs camp might have deliberately leaked the passport to distract Nigerians on his whereabouts.
He wrote, โWhere is Tinubu? He has not been seen in public for a month. That is the question we should be asking.
โLet us not be distracted by passports. If anyone has such evidence, take it to court not to social media. What social media should focus on now is Tinubuโs whereabouts!
โI actually suspect that the passport was deliberately leaked by Tinubuโs people to divert attention from any questions about his whereabouts.
โIt is a red herring. They know it wonโt stand in court. But it has achieved the purpose it was meant to serve. Distraction! So again, I ask, where is Tinubu?โ
