Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has tackled ex-minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili, over the statement regarding the destruction of the viral billboard in Abuja with the inscription ‘All Eyes on the Judiciary’.
OsunDailyNG reported that the federal government had ordered the pulling down of billboards drawing public attention to the judiciary as Nigerians await the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court.
The Federal Government had disbanded the Secretariat of the Advertising Standard Panel due to its endorsement of billboards accused of attempting to manipulate the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal with the slogan, ‘All Eyes on the Judiciary.’
Reacting to the development, Ezekwesili, in a post via Twitter, described the action of FG as an obviously misguided regulator.
However, Reno slammed Ezekwesili for always being quick to blow up over national issues that occur outside the Eastern part of the country.
Reno referenced issues which had happened in the eastern region that Ezekwesili failed to condemn but ranted over a billboard targeted at intimidating the Nigerian judiciary.
He wrote on Twitter, “My dear Oby, when the Anambra State Government, which gave you a political appointment, demolished Peter Obi’s campaign billboard on January 16, 2023, for flouting regulations, you did not complain or run naked in the streets. You did not describe the action as one by an “obviously misguided regulator”.
“So, why are you now dancing naked over a billboard specifically targeted at intimidating the judiciary to favour Peter Obi, because it occurred in Abuja? You have a knack for ignoring things that occur in your home state and region while blowing up things that happen outside your region.
“You are the same person who has also not condemned the killing of US embassy personnel by Unknown Gunmen in your state and close to your local government on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
“You are the same Oby who danced naked in the streets when Deborah Samuel was burnt to death but have remained silent till today after a pregnant Northerner from Adamawa, Harira Jubril, was killed by unknown gunmen in broad daylight in Anambra, your home state, with her four underaged daughters, Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2.
“The same you rolled on the floor of Aso Rock over #BringBackOurGirls. Yet, you never condemned the killing of Ahmed Gulak on May 31, 2021.
“Oby, why will you always cover anything that happens in the Southeast and blow out of proportion things that occur elsewhere? Maybe you should focus on your career as an IPOB apologist and stop gaslighting Nigerians.”
