Political commentator Reno Omokri has dismissed Dele Momodu’s assertions that President Bola Tinubu is “killing democracy” and failing in governance. In a response to Momodu’s recent interview, Omokri accused him of political bias, arguing that he remained silent on previous crises in Rivers State but criticized Tinubu for intervening. He highlighted a series of bombings and governance disputes in the state, asserting that Tinubu’s actions were aimed at restoring stability rather than undermining democracy.
Omokri also challenged Momodu’s claims about Tinubu’s economic performance, citing improved statistics such as reduced inflation, increased power generation, and a significant rise in Nigeria’s trade surplus. He pointed out that GDP growth, higher federal allocations, and reduced insecurity contradict the narrative of economic failure. Omokri concluded that Momodu’s remarks were alarmist and lacked factual basis, misrepresenting the country’s economic and political realities.
