Jonathan’s Aide, Reno Omokri Attacks President Buhari Over Cancellation Of WAEC Examination

President Muhammadu Buhari has come under heavy fire over the cancellation of the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

KanyiDaily recalled on Wednesday, July 8, 2020, the Federal Government had declared that Nigerian schools would not be reopened until the COVID-19 pandemic drastically subsides.

Consequently, the government said Nigerian students would not participate in Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (SSCE) scheduled to commence on August 4, 2020.

Reacting is series of tweets on Friday, Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, described the cancellation of WAEC as evil.

Omokri wondered why the Federal Government cancelled an examination but did not cancel the forthcoming Edo State governorship election. He said President Buhari wants to spread illiteracy across Nigeria.

How can General @MBuhari say WAEC exams won’t hold this year, yet Edo and Ondo elections will hold? Which is riskier? Exam or elections? @OfficialAPCNg held a mass rally. Yet, they close schools. No wonder Nigeria is the world headquarters for extreme poverty? #BuhariTormentor

General @MBuhari wants elections to hold, but doesn’t want WAEC to hold. He can borrow $500 million to upgrade NTA so he can spread propaganda, yet is unwilling to spend that same amount on education so we can spread proper agenda! What a wicked government!#BuhariTormentor

Because General @MBuhari does not have a WAEC Certificate, he wants to punish the whole country by depriving Nigerian youths of having their own WAEC certificates. He wants to spread illiteracy, so we can all be almajiri. Never! The cancellation of WAEC is evil!#BuhariTormentor

Every Friday, millions of Nigerians sagely attend Jumat prayers. Each Sunday, millions more practice social distancing in churches. If we can go on with religion, why can’t we go on with education? Cancelling WAEC makes no sense! We don’t want to be like Buhari!#BuhariTormentor

Nigerian youths dont want to be like General @MBuhari. They want certificates, not NEPA bill or affidavit! Religion, election, even corruption is going on. Why should education stop? Nigerians reject Buhari’s plan to turn us to sai Baba almajiri. WAEC must hold!#BuhariTormentor pic.twitter.com/2trmtDPhOO

1.5 million Nigerians write WAEC yearly. If General @MBuhari stops them from writing it in Nigeria, they‘ll abandon social distancing and go to neighboring nations to write WAEC rather than lose a year. We WILL end up with more COVID19 than we are trying to stop#BuhariTormentor

Serous nations did not suspend their national examination. They made it better. Today, General @MBuhari signed a ₦10.8 trillion budget containing billions to renovate NASS building. That cash can be better spent making WAEC safe to hold instead of suspending it#BuhariTormentor pic.twitter.com/VpxdtkamGm

The ₦10.8 trillion budget General @MBuhari signed today had billions for Buhari‘s travels. Why budget billions to travel when you are stuck in Nigeria due to #COVID19? Why not use the funds to make exam halls safe enough for WAEC to hold instead of suspension?#BuhariTormentor pic.twitter.com/05dUMOjrsZ

1.5 million Nigerians write WASSCE every year. Nigeria does not have the capacity to hold WAEC exams for 3 million people next year. What this means is that, if this policy is not reversed, every Nigerian child will miss a year, not just the final year students.#BuhariTormentor

What is the difference between General @MBuhari and Boko Haram? Boko Haram hates# Western education. Buhari cancels WAEC. Both have the same objective. Instead of investing money to make WAEC exam safe, they suspended it so we can be certificateless like Buhari#BuhariTormentor

Edo has 2,210,534 voters, while Ondo has 1,822,346. A total of 4,032,880. WAEC has 1.5 million registered students in Nigeria. WAEC exams takes 5 hours. Voting takes all day. So, what is the rationale for suspending WASSCE, yet go on with Edo and Ondo elections?#BuhariTormentor

Ghana opened schools for final year students and confirmed that WAEC examinations will hold. Meanwhile, Nigeria suspended WAEC exams. That is because Ghana’s President, @NAkufoAddo is a graduate of @UniofOxford, and General @MBuhari has questionable WAEC status!#BuhariTormentor

Today, over 10 million Nigerians attended jumat at mosques, over 10 million visited a bank, and over 20 million shopped at markets. Yet, General @MBuhari suspend WAEC because 1.5 million youths are allegedly at risk for #COVID19. Nigeria needs a literate leader!#BuhariTormentor

Meanwhile, Oyo State Government has insisted that schools will remain open in preparation for the 2020 WASSCE, despite the Federal Government’s warning against such due to the coronavirus pandemic.
