Reno Omokri.
Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, and strong supporter of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to apologize to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, if a state of emergency is not declared in Kaduna state, according to a report by the Nigerian Eye.
Reno was reacting to Thursday's state broadcast by Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai during which the governor criticized President Buhari and his government over the Naira redesign policy and its implementation.
Governor El-Rufai accused Buhari of allowing disgruntled and evil people to use him to fight the All Progressives Congress APC and try to destroy democracy in the country.
"These evil people using the instrumentality of the Federal Government and the President as convenient covers are willing to truncate our democracy because they have personally lost out.
"They are massively deploying resources and tools to defeat the political party that gave us the platform to serve the country just because they could not impose the candidates of their choice. Let us not help them," El-rufai said in response to the president's pronouncements on the ongoing currency swap crisis in a national broadcast on Thursday.
El-Rufai insisted in his broadcast that both the old and new Naira notes will remain legal tender in Kaduna state until the Supreme Court rules otherwise.
Reacting on Twitter, however, Reno Omokri said the governor has committed treason by defying the CBN directive.
Omokri wrote: “What Nasir @elrufai has done in defying the CBN’s directive approved by Buhari, by saying the old Naira notes would still be valid in Kaduna, is treason. If a state of emergency is not declared in Kaduna, then Buhari should apologize to Nnamdi Kanu and release him.”
