Former Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri has described Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu as a “liar”.
Omokri made this assertion in reaction to a claim by Shehu that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had created 6 million jobs since inception.
Shehu made the claim on a Channels Television programme, Sunday Politics.
He added, “Under the Buhari administration, several companies have been created and several job opportunities have been created for our youths.”
But reacting via his verified Twitter handle, the US-based pastor wondered where Shehu got his facts from when the National Bureau of Statistics said 10 million jobs were lost under the Buhari administration.
Omokri said, “When I say @Garshehu is a liar, some people doubted me. Now look at him saying Buhari has created over 6 million jobs. The liar has forgotten that the government owned Nigerian Bureau of Statistics said 10 million Nigerians lost their jobs under Buhari!”
