Reno Omokri, a former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has told Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, that the only federal university in Katsina state was built by the last administration.

Federal University Dutsin, Katsina, is one of the nine universities which Jonathan founded in February 2011.

In a statement on Tuesday, Omokri said Shehu’s claim that there was no capital project completed under Jonathan “further exposes his intellectual laziness and failing memory”.

“It is quite sad that Garba Shehu does not know that oil constitutes only 15 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP and thus a fall in the price of oil should not lead to a collapse of the Nigerian economy as has been experienced under President Buhari,” the statement read.

“If Garba and his boss are willing to learn, the Jonathan Foundation and the Peoples Democratic Party can arrange a course for them to be tutored on the subject-how to grow your economy to be the largest in Africa. We make bold that we are experienced in that area.

“Obviously Garba Shehu has forgotten that when his boss was commissioning the Abuja-Kaduna 187KM fast railway that enables Nigerians work in Abuja and live in Kaduna, he was forced to admit that the project was conceived, built and completed by the Jonathan administration.

“At that event, President Muhammadu Buhari said about the $1.5 billion project and I quote ‘This project was conceived by a previous administration, started by the last government.’ My question to Mr. Shehu is this-who is a liar between him and his boss?

“I also urge Garba Shehu to take note of the fact that the only Federal University in his boss’s home state of Katsina was built by the Jonathan administration in addition to 13 other universities and 165 Almajiri schools built all over Nigeria. For people who don’t value education, I am not surprised that they see this as “nothing to show!”

Reacting to Shehu’s claims that 21 states owed salaries during the previous regime, Omokri asked if the presidential aide does not know that Nigeria is a federation and as such, the federal government cannot control the states.

“No wonder they are against restructuring and want to throw the report of the 2014 National Conference into the dustbin,” he said.

“Mr. Garba Shehu would do well to remember that his boss promised Nigerians 3 million jobs every year. Rather, according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, 4.58 million jobs, created by the Jonathan led PDP administration, were lost in his boss’s first year.”

Omokri said the Jonathan administration revived the “moribund” Nigerian Railways Corporation, adding that it is “laughable” for Shehu to cite the fight against corruption and the terror war as major achievements of the Buhari administration.

While questioning the present administration’s claim that Boko Haram has been “technically defeated,” he asked: “How can a defeated Boko Haram now have the ability to kidnap policewomen and oil explorers? How can a defeated Boko Haram attack military formations? How can a defeated Boko Haram carry out more suicide bombings in the last eight months than at any other time in Nigeria’s history?”

“Garba Shehu can continue living in his fool’s paradise but he should give Nigerians more credit than to issue the pathetic tissue of lies that he called a response to former President Jonathan’s comments at this past weekend’s non elective Congress of the PDP.

“The time for propaganda is long gone. Anybody who wants to differ should speak to those issues raised, and not boasts about accomplishments that are not visible. The succeeding administration has been on the saddle for more than half of its four-year tenure.”

And what good has the university done to change the mindset of the people he built it for since religious and ethnic bigotry still permeate their souls and beings?

Anyway, why is Reno still lecturing Garba Shehu when he is still battling to grasp the meaning of the last figures he regaled him with?

this is why ng should seperate use your own money for yourself

almajiri doesn't count that as an achievement oga keep your university to yourself.

An AK47 would be great or on a softer side a mat and a kettle to wash big after prayers.

Fed Univ?an achievement?they do not see it that way.....
Its ntn to them,

Methinks,a bomb factory,would have been better.

Or better still,a harem industry.

Mr. Garba Shehu has never shown to be fit intellectually..

Let the fact be laid on for every one to see...
Good luck Jonathan definitely had his flaws but give him credit where he deserves

You built school for those who don't value school.

This government probably has nothing to offer. They are now relying on issues that has no significance to the economy in distracting people.

Apart from Fashola who we can see his handiwork on power and electricity generation every other person in this administration including their head are cacophony of deceit.

Garba Shehu, Femi Adeshina and Lauretta Onochei have chosen to insult the intelligence of Nigerians. In saner climes these people would have been charged for treason and taken to the guillotine.

They take it in turn to spew rubbish and insult their sensibility. The next gibberish will be the turn of Femi Adeshina .

.

And how is the accumulation more sub-standard university an achievement?

He created 9 new universities yet spend a. Big chunk of Nigeria revenue sending Nigeria graduates abroad to study on scholarship....what is the wisdom in it?

How long did it take CU to attain her present height? Can same be said of GEJ's Unis?


Oil revenue contributed only 15% of GDP yet a crash in oil price led to borrowing of money to pay common salary....whats is the logic behind this?

You claim Nigeria had the largest economy in Africa.......how can that be possible when there is no good roads, health care, rail, standard airport, water scheme?.....isn't this African man's economics?


Keep on impressing the illiterates

Jonathan spent his whole time in office pleasing the North and neglecting the South.

He built roads and bridges,
Built universities,
No police checkpoints,
Built almajiri schools (do Almajiris even need schools?),
Reduced exam cut-off marks for Northerners.
Proposed the removal of CRK from school curriculums.

GEJ is a mistake who should never be forgiven!!!

The fool didn't know those ingrates will never appreciate any of the good things done for them.

The same zombies who despised him worship Buhari who has done nothing but Northernize the government and Federal parastatals.

It is quite sad that Garba Shehu does not know that oil constitutes only 15 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP and thus a fall in the price of oil should not lead to a collapse of the Nigerian economy as has been experienced under President Buhari,”

If the dullard is not blaming the price of oil, he is blaming corruption.

Fact is Buhari gave us recession in 1985, he repeated same feat 30yrs later.
Olodo President.

Seriously These people are doing all just to cover him up.. Buhari has failed in some aspects..kiss the truth...

Useless point. How many Federal Universities is a state expected to have? Which state has two Federal Universities?

Oh..
He did.

I concur

ok

Apc from every indication was not prepared for victory. Since they got into power two years ago, they are done more criticism of the past administration than attended to their own electoral promises. The Buhari government is a sham.

Dlordsamurai:
RENO should not bother replying that educated illetrate, they dont see the value of the university, what they would have considered as an investment is laws to enable the old men get married to 10years old girls.

And you are here calling people illiterates.
