Consequently, activists have called for his sack over a controversial article traced to him. The fraudulentpiece had linked the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to the deadly and heartless activities of the Boko Haram sect, all in a bid to paint Sanusi bad in the eyes of Nigerians.
The property of the Word document in the email was discovered to have conspicuously contained the name of the presidential aide, Reno Omokri, as its author...
The first paragraph of the article entitled, ‘Increased tempo of Boko Haram/terrorist activity in the wake of the Sanusi Saga,’ which has now circulated widely online reads, “In the wake of the saga involving the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, there has been an increase in the tempo of terrorist activities carried out by the Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram.”
The development has sparked anger online, especially on Twitter, with many calling for Omokri’s head. They accused Omokri, who claims to be a pastor, of spearheading a smear campaign at such a time when innocent Nigerians, both old and young, are being massacred.
As the online outrage against Omokri gathered momentum, one Edward Ayide accused him of using the tragic loss of children and other Nigerians to terrorist attacks to score cheap political points.
Ayide argued that the circumstances surrounding the e-mail was a dent on President Jonathan, adding that the President should not hesitate to fire Reno Omokri immediately.
“This is a disgrace. Shame on this man! He apparently has no conscience or personal integrity. Rather than grieve, he’s hurling stink-bombs. The President will do well to disavow men like Omokri and his ilk by firing him for this fiasco,” Ayide tweeted.
On her part, Ivy Sarumi asked Omokri to desist from parading himself as a cleric, as his behaviour he allegedly exhibited online betrayed the qualities expected of a pastor.
“Let no one call him (Omokri) a pastor. Even, an herbalist won’t jump into an abyss of shame as deep as that. It is a shame. I’m sure the Presidency won’t do a thing about this. After all, he who pays the piper dictates the tune. In climes where leaders are sane, he would have been called in for questioning,” she wrote.
Gbenga Sesan, an IT consultant, says if Omokri retains his job in spite of the scandal rocking his office, then it might be concluded that he was doing the bidding of his employer, the President.
Political blogger, Kayode Ogundamisi, in a message posted on Twitter, described the write-up as sad. “How devilish for a man like Omokri to keep screaming Jesus and then author documents trying to link an innocent man with Boko Haram? This is sad.”Tech-savvy individuals disclovered that the electronic mail circulated to bloggers and written with the address wendellsimlin@yahoo.com had the digital footprints of the fraudulent aide to President Jonathan.
