Ex-Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has come out to react to the upcoming August 1 protest over economic hardship. He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he wants the Lagos State government to ensure they ship non-indigenes residing in the state back to their home states where they can express their grievances, because a person from Abia state cannot be protesting in Lagos.
He added that Abia State is the home of state government who owe their workers salaries, therefore their indigenes cannot be protesting in Lagos where the state civil servants and pensioners are actually promptly paid their dues.
WOW.

Foolish Omokri. He hardly knows what he talks about as long as it means a talk against his perceived enemies or Peter Obi and his igbos. Is Sanwo-Olu from Lagos State? It means Sanwo-Olu who is from Ogun state yet governor of Lagos State must be removed according Omokri’s demand to Sanwo-Olu to repatriate non-indigenes of Lagos back to their states for the protests. Yorubas in Lagos State govt though not from Lagos state, who are listening to advice like this, ought to be reminded that it is xenophobia like this that will compel majority of Nigerians to demand that Lagos, a former federal capital, be retrieved from Yoruba govt and handed over to all Nigerians to govern.
