A best selling author and former aide of a past Nigerian president, Reno Omokri, has stated that Nigerians should be concerned about the progress of the economy than concern themselves with frivolities.
Omokri was reacting to backlashes generated as a result of a photo of the Nigerian president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his Aide-De-Camp, Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, where the latter was sitting as against standing behind the president.
He noted that what is more important is the development of the country and overall improvements in the economy.
“Some Nigerians are complaining bitterly about this photo because President Bola Tinubu’s ADC is seated when he is meant to be standing. My response to them is this: What did the Presidents whose ADC were always standing do? Did we not waste eight unproductive locust years with Buhari and his ever-standing ADC? Na ADC we go chop? I am not interested in all of those hangovers of the colonial era. How many times have you seen an ADC standing behind President Biden or Prime Minister Rishi Sunak? As long as the President is performing, he can even get rid of the position of ADC for all I care! Understand that it is the economy that should stand, not the ADC!” he stated.
