A staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, Reno Omokri, has declared that there would be no military coup in Nigeria because former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has lost out of power.

Omokri faulted El-Rufai for attempting to bait the military because he lost out of power.

He was reacting to El-Rufai’s comment that: “For those of us who lived half our lives under military rule, we know what it is. We don’t want a military rule, but we also don’t want civilians behaving like the military in their babbar riga and suits.

“This is a national emergency, and we must act before history repeats itself.”

Reacting, Omokri said El-Rufai’s remark likening Tinubu’s administration to a military dictatorship was false and self-serving.

Posting on X, Omokri wrote: “I read with dismay the coup-baiting comments by the former Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai.

“Not only is it irresponsible for any politician to bait the military to take over because they lost out in this administration, but it is also treasonous, especially when such comments are being made by a man who was himself a danger to democracy while he held sway in Kaduna.

“His comments likening this administration to a military dictatorship is false and self-serving.

“Nigerians should be reminded that under Nasir el-Rufai as Governor of Kaduna, the homes of his critics were demolished. Several of them were arrested and jailed, including Audu Maikori, who was forced into exile by Nasir el-Rufai.

“Furthermore, then Governor el-Rufai admitted paying herdsmen, and his reign marked the beginning of mass killings on an industrial scale in Southern Kaduna, which have now ended after he left office.

“This is a man who threatened foreign election observers that they would leave Nigeria in “body bags”, and today, he is accusing the Tinubu administration of acting like a military government?

“Yes, he is counting on the fact that Nigerians have short memories and may not remember his misdeeds

“Interestingly, on the same day that Nasir el-Rufai was photographed together with his newfound political friends, Peter Obi gave an interview and said he was not interested “in any coalition that is for the purpose of taking power.”
