Why Nigeria Is Broke, Experiencing Hardship – Reno Omokri

A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has claimed he knows why Nigeria is broke and experiencing hardship.

Speaking on Tuesday, he said Nigeria is broke and experiencing hardship because former President, Muhammadu Buhari borrowed more than all previous administrations combined.

He stated this on Twitter.

He wrote: 

“And the reason why is that Nigeria is broke. And Nigeria is broke because General Buhari borrowed more than all previous governments combined.

“We cannot keep borrowing to consume. Please fact-check me. If we keep borrowing, we will only pass the hardship to our children. Let us bear it now and pass prosperity to the next generation.

“Others are unhappy with the result of the last election and are weaponising the current hardship to bring down the current administration. Listen, I, Reno Omokri, urge you to stand with Nigeria. Not with Tinubu. Tinubu is just a temporary occupant of Aso Rock. Whether in 2027 or 2031, he will leave one day.

Nobody is coming to save Nigeria. It is only Nigerians that will save Nigeria. Local brands may or may not be as good as foreign ones, but with continued patronage, they will improve in quality.
