Reno Omokri and Bola Tinubu
In a post shared on his Twitter page, the former presidential aide said he’s guilty of using Tinubu’s health status against, stressing that henceforth he would refrain from insulting the three major candidates who he claimed were friends for over 20 years.
He said, “I have been guilty of using Bola Tinubu’s health status against him and I have come to realise that if we do not die early, we will all age and may suffer ill health,” he wrote.
“Therefore, I profoundly apologise to Mr. Tinubu and his supporters. Even though it may seem that the health of a candidate is a serious issue, I nevertheless promise to focus on other issues besides his health henceforth. May God bless you all.
“Atiku, Tinubu, and Obi have been friendly with each other for upwards of 20 years. So, you and I should support anyone other them without being unfriendly to each other.
“I will campaign for my candidate, but won’t force him on you. Please do likewise with me! This election will come and go. But Nigeria will remain, and God sparing our lives, we will also remain. No insults, no threats, no slander.”
I have been guilty of using Bola Tinubu’s health status against him. I now realise that if we don’t die early, we will all age and may suffer ill health. Thus, I profoundly apologise to @officialABAT and promise to focus on issues henceforth. May God bless you all.#TableShaker pic.twitter.com/JXvkphy9Ki
