Dino Melaye scandal: Reno Omokri takes a swipe at President Buhari

Former-special assistant to Ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reno Omokri has shaded the Buhari-led government, as he cast his own comment on the recent fake certificate scandals swaying the nation.

Omokri stated in a statement on Facebook that the same stick which is presently being used wrongly on Senator Dino Melaye, should have been used on the number one citizen of the nation.

The senator from Kogi, Dino Melaye, has been accused of not graduating from the Ahmadu Bello University where he studied geography even though he has maintained that he did while also professing that he has several degrees from many universities in Nigeria and abroad.

Senator Ali Ndume had raised a point of order asking the Senate to investigate the allegation that Melaye did not graduate from ABU as professed.

In reaction, Melaye had slammed out at the Senator saying not only did he graduate from Abu but claimed he also possess a degree from Harvard.

Commenting on the controversy, Reno Omkri took to his Facebook page, saying: "I wish the efforts by Dino Melaye's enemies in the APC to verify his certificate can be applied to verifying the certificate of another powerful man in the APC. We should not treat Dino Melaye one way and the other powerful man another way.

“If they think Dino Melaye is unfit to hold his Senatorial seat because he did not graduate from university (which is untrue) then they should apply their logic to all political office holders no matter how high they are. If Dino must present his certificate then others must also present their own too! What is good for the goose is good for the gander!"

Omkori has also talked about the ongoing rift concerning Governor Nasir El-Rufai's negative comment on the Buhari-led administration.

Omokri said: "Oh Mr. President, what a pity, what a pity! First your own wife warns you that she may not even campaign for you in 2019, then your political khalifa, the magajin Buhari in the person of Nasir El-Rufai, calls you a failure!

"If you consigned your wife to the 'other room' as punishment, to which room will you consign El-Rufai? "

"Let me recommend a room for you. How about the kitchen? I am sure you have some knives there. El-Rufai will find them handy in practicing his favorite hobby-backstabbing."
