A former aide to ex-Nigerian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reno Omokri has taken to social media to unveil Atiku Abubakar as his choice presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 elections.
Naija News reports that the controversial author announced via his Instagram account on Monday.
Sharing a photo of the former vice president, Reno wrote; “Happening Now: Look at him. Looking young, fit, trendy and in full holiday mood and mode. Alhaji @AAtiku Abubakar. By the grace of God, my choice as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who will help us bid farewell to poverty and welcome to prosperity!
“I wholeheartedly, with my full chest, endorse and support Atiku Abubakar to run for President in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, and I urge all my supporters around Nigeria to throw their support behind the only man who can unite North and South at this delicate time in our national life.”
However, his choice candidate did not sit well with Nigerians who expressed disappointment and shock.
Some insisted that the account of the vocal activist might have been hacked as it is surprising that he could go for an older candidate despite being very critical of the present administration.
