Attack on Jonathan: Recession affecting your memory – Reno blasts Osinbajo

Ex-presidential aide on New Media, Reno Omokri, has again lashed out at Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

In what could be described as his fiercest attack against the former Lagos attorney-general, Reno, in his latest article said it was unfortunate that Osinbajo kept dishing out bad comments and wrong figures just to incite Nigerians against Mr Jonathan.

The article reads in parts: “When recession hits the economy, it leads to inflation. When it hits INEC, it leads to ‘inconclusive elections’. When it hits APC, they turn Graduate to Conductors. When it hits Davido he stops singing ’emi omo baba olowo’ and starts singing ‘gba be oshi’.

“When it hits Vice President Yemi Osinbajo he forgets mathematics and blames Jonathan for looting $15 billion arms fund though less than $10 billion was budgeted for defence under Jonathan.

“When it hits President Buhari, he stops promising change and starts blaming Goodluck Jonathan! The incurable Responsibility Dodgers Syndrome afflicting the current administration has reached alarming proportions such that they have turned the weekly meetings of the federal executive council into blame Jonathan sessions.

“Rightly, agents of the government of the day have earned the unflattering sobriquet, Responsibility Dodgers, because, the big guns in this government, despite their manifest unpreparedness for office and obvious cluelessness, have continued to blame past administrations, especially that of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, for their own failure.

“It is even most disappointing that a clergyman like Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a Professor of law, who incidentally is also the head of the administration’s economic team would join the fray.

“The latest outburst from Professor Osinbajo was made in a paper he presented at an event in the United States last Monday, where he claimed that the Jonathan administration was never committed to defeating Boko Haram. Really?

“Let me remind our revered Vice President of a statement made by his boss when the then President Goodluck Jonathan unleashed the firepower of the Nigerian Army on Boko Haram.

“Let us recall that at one point, while addressing pastors and leaders at a retreat of the Fountain of Life Church in Lagos, Osinbajo had also claimed that the Governments of Jonathan and that of late President Umaru Yar’Adua didn’t build a single road in ten years!

“On the issue of recession and how to get out of it, the Vice President has continued to dither. In one breathe, he had blamed the downturn on the past administration, and in another, he found it convenient to put the blame on pipeline vandalism

“In the first place, he has continued to raise wide and baseless allegations of an embezzled $15 billion security equipment fund, without any shred of evidence. Again, I state that this is the kind of loose and trite talk that a Vice President should never be associated with. Also, when he insists that the military were poorly equipped, he is simply being economical with the truth.
