Genocide claim: Omokri sends message international community

By Isa Isawade

Renowned social critic and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has sent a subtle message to the international community over the notion that genocidal acts are being committed under the current administration against Christians in Nigeria.

It tried to put records straight by restating that terrorists in the country have been carrying out killings of innocent Nigerians across religious and ethnic affinities.

He also noted the consistent efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at taming the monster and restoring enduring peace in the country and called on the international community to support and not confront the country.

Omokri said this in a post on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.

“Nigeria is my country, and I love my country and extend the right hand of fellowship to the government and people of Nigeria, and to President Bola Tinubu, as the government of Nigeria works to serve Nigeria and all her people, irrespective of their ethnic, religious, and regional backgrounds.

“I call on the international community to support Nigeria in achieving its security objectives by providing intelligence and other assistance, so that our gallant armed forces, who have worked arm in arm with the armed forces of the United States in places like Liberia and other conflict zones, can create a safe environment for all Nigerians.

“These extremists are not just enemies of Nigerian Muslims, Christians, as well as Nigerians of other faiths, they are also threats to world peace, and Nigeria needs cooperation at this moment to deal with them, rather than confrontation,” Omokri wrote.
