Reno Omokri hails Tinubu’s economic policy

In a post shared on his X page on Thursday, April 10, Omokri took a swipe at some politicians criticizing Tinubu's government and wondered why they have suddenly gone quiet following the drop in petrol prices.

Legit.ng reported that on Wednesday, April 9, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) officially directed the complete application of the collapsed naira-for-crude agreement with local refineries.

The new order will mean that Dangote and other refineries will have to reduce prices since crude supply is now in naira.

Speaking on the development, Omokri tweeted:

"Okay, when petrol prices went up, opposition politicians and their allies TV stations, as well as their social media agent provocateurs, made such a big noise. They made it an issue in their failed protest. But now that the price has crashed to ₦865, they have suddenly gone graveyard quiet. Why?
"If you recall, I told you that the restoration of the Naira-for-Crude deal meant this price reduction would happen. The silence of these voices means that they reserve their talk for only bad news. This is why we call them Agbotikuyo.
"Nigeria shall be good in our lifetimes. Believe it with me and say an amen to seal this prayer for you and your family."

"Meanwhile, I wish Mr. Aliko Adeboye a happy sixty-eighth birthday. May God bless him. Nigerians and the world have a lot to learn from him, the man who earns the most and has boosted our economy yet has never claimed to have singlehandedly developed Lagos, unlike some who have boasted about that," Omokri said.
