Reno Omokri Breaks Silence on Being Paid to Support Tinubu

A socio-political activist, Reno Omokri has said his support for the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu was not financially induced.

Omokri, who is known for his attacks on opposition figures, particularly the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last election, Peter Obi, addressed the matter while featuring on Channels TV program on Wednesday.

The former presidential spokesperson claimed that his support for the administration is based on patriotism birthed by his love for the country.

He vehemently denied the allegations that he is on the payroll of the APC government, following his consistent support for relatively all President Tinubu’s policies.

He said, “So who was paying me between 2025 and 2023 when I was traveling over on matters concerning Nigeria?

“Why would anyone give me money? I’m doing this not just for the love I have for Tinubu but the love I have for Nigeria.

“Right now, I’m in Lagos and I don’t live here. I came to Lagos because people have spread wrong information about the Lagos-Calaba coastal highway.

“I bought a ticket with my own money, then I came and gathered journalists. I also gathered members of the public, ordinary Nigerians. I bought a drone with my own money to verify that indeed the 30 kilometers highway is complete”.
