2023 Presidency: Tinubu visits Jonathan for endorsement after attacking him for five years – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a former adviser to former president Goodluck Jonathan has responded to the visit of Bola Tinubu, leader of the All Progressives Congress to the former president.

Omokri responded and shared images from the visit on Wednesday, praising Jonathan for maintaining his cool despite what he claimed were attacks on him by Tinubu from 2010 to 2015 and asserting that the ex-President never harbored resentment despite this.

He said Jonathan was the best president Nigeria had ever had.

According to reports, Jonathan received a visit from Tinubu on Tuesday evening in Abuja.

The meeting was a continuation of Tinubu’s nationwide dialogue with important stakeholders and was held behind closed doors in Jonathan’s home.

A team of five APC governors was led by Tinubu, who was accompanied by his running mate, Senator Kashim Shetimma. They were Bello Matawale, the governor of Zamfara State, Simon Lalong, the director-general of his presidential campaign council, Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun State, Jigawa State governor, Abubakar Badaru, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governor of Kwara State.

A source in Tinubu’s camp told our correspondent that the visit was an extension of the APC national leader’s engagement with key political stakeholders ahead of the 2023 presidential election, even if the meeting’s specifics were not made public.

“His visit to Jonathan shouldn’t come to anyone as a surprise. Tinubu holds no grudges with any political leader whether within the party or in the opposition,” the source had said.

Reacting via a tweet, Omokiri said, “H.E @GEJonathan, the best leader that Nigeria ever had. Look at his Godly gesture. Bola @officialABAT spent the five years between 2010-2015 insulting, attacking and lying against Jonathan. Even after GEJ left office, he continued. Yet, Jonathan never bore a grudge!”
