Former Presidential Aide, Reno Omokri has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to forgive the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and pro-Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho just as he has forgiven Senator Joshua Dariye of Plateau State and Jolly Nyame of Taraba State, of their corruption charges.
It will be recalled that the Council of State put in place by President Buhari had recently granted presidential pardon to the two former governors in the spirit of the Easter celebration and Ramadan fasting season.
But Omokri in a post via his Instagram page on Friday challenged Buhari for pardoning corrupt politicians without extending the same arm of forgiveness to the incarcerated freedom fighters, Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho.
He wrote, “Dear General Muhammadu Buhari.
Thank you for your beautifully composed Easter message. In this message, you ask us to learn to forgive, like Nabi Isa (Alayhis Salaam), whom some Christians refer to as Jesus Christ. This is quite commendable.
But do you practice what you preach?
“You just forgave and gave pardons to former Governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, who were both convicted for stealing billions.
You have also refused to prosecute so called repentant Boko Haramists, who you are instead now training. That is also an act of forgiveness.
“While you are doing all these, you are prosecuting Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho and Sheikh Zakzaky, to mention a few.
“My question to you sir is this: How can you forgive thieves and killers, only to pursue freedom fighters and clerics, whose brand of Islam you disagree with?Sir, does this not portray you as a munafiq?”
