Reno Omokri, A one time Media Aide to Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to Desmond Elliot claims on Internet users in Nigeria especially the youth in the country.
According to Omokri, The Lawmaker (Elliot) has decided to turn against the people so as to score cheap political points with some perceived power brokers ahead of the next election, Hence, Should be unfollowed by the youths on all social media plattforms.
Desmond Elliot, who used the influence of his popularity as a Nollywood actor to become a lawmaker in the Lagos State House of Assembly, was recently caught on camera in a video that has gone viral on the internet suggesting that celebrities and social media influencers used the #EndSARS protests to incite violence.
The Lagos lawmaker blamed the social media for the violence that followed the protest and was heard while making a submission on the floor of the house telling the Speaker to “address certain things” like “the Nigerian youth, the social media, the social influencers.”
Omokri however submitted that the times have changed and power only belongs to the people.
Specifically, Omokri noted that even Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, widely believed to be the strongman of Lagos politics can’t save Elliot from a pending political doom as even Tinubu himself is can’t recover from what has happened in the last two weeks.
He wrote: “Desmond Elliott was acting for his political godfathers to see his loyalty. He is ambitious. He does not believe what he said. He believed he was writing a promotion exam. And he felt that the person that would grade his paper is Bola Tinubu. But Nigeria has changed. Power has shifted to the people. Even Bola Tinubu himself can’t recover from the effects of the last two weeks.”
“Desmond Elliot expects someone who can’t save himself to save him. Alas, he unwisely chose to be the proverbial fly that followed the corpse into the grave. Tinubu is now a political corpse. He once had the Midas Touch. But now, all that Tinubu has left is the Leprous Touch! Desmond incurred the wrath of forces more powerful than his godfathers, and they may sacrifice him to appease that force.”
