Dino Melaye scandal: Reno Omokri takes a swipe at Buhari

Former-special aide to Ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reno Omokri has taken yet another swipe at the Buhari-led administration, as he joined the discuss over fake certificate scandals rocking the nation.

Omokri noted in a statement on Facebook that the same rod which is currently being used wrongly on Senator Dino Melaye, should have been used on the principal of the nation.

Dino Melaye’s current scandal concerning his academic qualification took another wrong turn after the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) denied that he got a degree from the institution.

Dino Melaye scandal: Reno Omokri takes a swipe at Buhari

The senator from Kogi has been accused of not graduating from the Ahmadu Bello University where he studied geography although he has insisted that he did while also claiming that he has several degrees from various universities in Nigeria and abroad.

Senator Ali Ndume had raised a point of order asking the Senate to probe the allegation that Melaye did not graduate from ABU as claimed.

In response, Melaye had lashed out at the Senator saying not only did he graduate from Abu but claimed he also has a degree from Harvard.

Reacting to the controversy, Reno Omkri took to Facebook, saying: "I wish the efforts by Dino Melaye's enemies in the APC to verify his certificate can be applied to verifying the certificate of another powerful man in the APC. We should not treat Dino Melaye one way and the other powerful man another way.

If they think Dino Melaye is unfit to hold his Senatorial seat because he did not graduate from university (which is untrue) then they should apply their logic to all political office holders no matter how high they are. If Dino must present his certificate then others must also present their own too! What is good for the goose is good for the gander!"

Omkori has also reacted to the ongoing rift regarding Governor Nasir El-Rufai's negative take on the Buhari-led administration.

He said: "Oh Mr. President, what a pity, what a pity! First your own wife warns you that she may not even campaign for you in 2019, then your political khalifa, the magajin Buhari in the person of Nasir El-Rufai, calls you a failure!

If you consigned your wife to the 'other room' as punishment, to which room will you consign El-Rufai? "

"Let me recommend a room for you. How about the kitchen? I am sure you have some knives there. El-Rufai will find them handy in practicing his favorite hobby-backstabbing," Omokri added.
