President Muhammadu Buhari is on all news headlines after reports emerged that US president Donald Trump called him ‘lifeless’ shortly after their meeting last April. The meeting which was highly celebrated by the present administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) may have not meant that much to Trump judging by current reports.
The Financial Times in a recent article claims Trump told his aides shortly after meeting Buhari, he never wants to meet someone as lifeless as Buhari again.
Reacting to the report, Reno Omokri, who was an aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan and also enjoys ‘ruffling the feathers’ of president Buhari says the APC should stop promoting Buhari for second term. In a few Twitter posts on Monday morning, Omokri said Nigerians should not rush at castigating Mr Trump as he has been vindicated on many levels.

So @realDonaldTrump called Nigeria’s President @MBuhari “a lifeless person” and said “I don’t want to meet him again”! This is the same person @OfficialAPCNg is promoting for a 2nd term? No wonder our economy is so lifeless that 10 million Nigerians lost their jobs! #RenosNuggets

No wonder the @MBuhari administration said it is better to give land for cattle ranching than to die! This seats well with @realDonaldTrump’s judgment that President @MBuhari is a “lifeless” person. That is why he wants us to give our life for our land #renosdarts

Even after walking 800 meters, @realDonaldTrump called @MBuhari a “lifeless person”! Before you attack Trump, remember that Buhari appointed dead men into boards and other sensitive positions. Does that not vindicate Donald Trump’s position about him being lifeless? #RenosDarts

If the leader of the Free World can’t stand @MBuhari and believes that he is absolutely ‘lifeless’, can Nigeria expect any cooperation from the West with Buhari in charge. We need an assertive leader who can look Trump in the eye and say NO! Buhari is not that leader #RenosDarts

He also said if President Buhari wants President Trump to apologise for calling him ‘lifeless’, he should be asked, if he has apologized to Nigerian youths for calling them lazy. He wrote :
If President @MBuhari asks US President, @realDonaldTrump to apologise for calling him “completely lifeless”, then Trump should ask Buhari if he has apologised for calling Nigerian youths lazy. And to those #LazyNigerianYouths, leave Buhari to fight this fight alone! #RenosDarts
