Reno Omokri has slammed former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili for criticizing Governor Nyesom Wike over the demolition of 2 hotels for disobeying the lockdown order.
Earlier on, former Nigerian Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, reacting to Wike’s actions in Rivers state, said: “Power in the hands of persons without self-discipline in the absence of social accountability creates monsters in any society.

“I have seen enough flagrant abuse of power among our political class to know that both they and citizens are still enamored of the unaccountable governance style of the inglorious military era. Such arrogance of power against citizens because of delegated temporary ‘title’.
“Democratic ethos, values, principles and nuances totally forbid the kind of action Governor Wike of Rivers took in demolishing a hotel no matter whatever “Executive Order” he travels signed. His action breeds anarchy in society and is condemnable. There is the morning after.
“It is self-discipline that makes one with enormous powers to be restrained in exercising it. Whatever else you do as a young person preparing for Public Leadership in this land, please get self-discipline before whatever ‘title’ they start calling you to swell your head.”
However, Reno Omokri seems to disagree with the former minister as he decided to slam her via his twitter page.
He tweeted: “Ever the hypocrite,@ObyEzeks is attacking Gov Wike for demolishing houses in Rivers. How come she was quiet when @Elrufai demolished houses of political opponents in Kaduna? Is it because Elrufai family have her ‘beggar with receipt’?“@ObyEzeks is an @OfficialAPCNg agent. They have her ‘beggar with receipt’. They use her to sabotage the opposition. Yinka Ayefele’s radio station was destroyed. She was mute. @Elrufai destroyed homes of political opponents. She was quiet. But she attacks Wike!
“@ObyEzeks is the house rat that tells the Bush rat where to go. A saboteur. @Elrufai, whose son insulted her as ‘beggar with receipt’, demolished homes of his multiple opponents, including a serving Senator, but beggar Oby said NOTHING.”
