Omokri has been a critic of the Buhari administration but in a surprising move commended President Buhari for the willingness to foster a US/Nigeria relationship. Read what he said below:
“I salute both Presidents Donald J. Trump and Muhammadu Buhari for their call which expressed a willingness to boost US/Nigeria relations. More of this. Don’t allow hatred for Muhammadu Buhari affect your love for Nigeria. The Donald J. Trump/Buhari call indeed took place and is good for Nigeria! Give the man his due. When opposition becomes hatred or death wish, it stops being Godly and starts being satanic. I am an opponent not a hater.”
The two presidents spoke on Monday, February 13, after it was announced that Trump would speak with Buhari in London at 3:45pm with another call to President Jacob Zuma of South Africa.
