Former aide to the former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri took to his social media page to address one of the most controversial issues in the government today.
Recall that some Nigerians had suggested the sale of some national assets in order to tackle the current economic recession in the country, of those, the Senate president, Bukola Saraki, strongly backed the idea while several including the Deputy Speaker of the house and some members have kicked against the move.
In line with this, Reno Omokri took to his Facebook page to write: “Selling your national assets because of a recession is like selling your house because of car troubles. Where will you sleep after fixing the car? Also, If selling off your national assets does not stop the recession, what will be the next step? Sell the citizens? Where does it end? At least before you try something desperate you should cut wastes like the 10 presidential jets, the outrageous salaries of political appointees and the billions wasted on sponsoring pilgrims by giving them concessionary dollar rates. For instance, how can you be contemplating selling off national assets yet you still have ₦20 million to treat ear infection in London?”
He further added: “After spending ₦20 million of their hard earned tax Naira to treat your ear at least use the ear listen to Nigerians and dont sell their National Assets!”
