The Delta born human rights activist, former Media aide to ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Mr Reno Omokri has backlashed the human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, the former Anambra State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and other Abuja based promoters of the ongoing nationwide protest in Nigeria.
Omokri who took to his official X handle to express his displeasure over how the #EndbadGovernance protest was left unguarded by the promoters.
Omokri said, “How can you sit in America (Sowore), Anambra and Lagos (Obi) and Abuja (other promoters of the protest) and incite people to protest in Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, Maiduguri and other flashpoints?
“You even tagged the protest ‘Days of Rage’, but you do not have leaders who can control the crowds in all the places you called for demonstrations. Yet, you know that these are places where violence has erupted in the past.
“Was it your plan to destroy Northern Nigeria? Is that what you (Obi) meant by your ‘religious war’ in your leaked audio?
“And now that people have died and economies have been destroyed, you say you are surprised that the protest turned violent and bloody. What did you expect?
“That means you do not understand human nature and are a poor judge of anticipating the consequences of actions and situations. It is primary facie proof that you are a worse administrator than the politicians you are protesting.
“Because at least those politicians prepared by having the police and army on standby. You did not prepare.
“Go to the dictionary and check out the meaning of Rage. It means violent anger. Please fact-check me. How can you ask people to gather for ‘violent anger’, yet you say you did not expect violence?
“Their blood is on your hands. You are liable for the looting and destruction of public property. And if the government does not want this senseless destruction to happen again, those who incited and invited these protests should be charged and prosecuted, just as the British government is doing. Or it will happen again.”
