Reno Omokri, a former presidential assistant, has explained why he believes Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President, should be the next President of Nigeria.

Reno claimed in a video posted on his verified Facebook page that Atiku, who has run for president multiple times, will be able to rebuild the Nigerian economy if elected.

According to him, the country requires someone who is capable of creating work chances for Nigerian youths, noting that the former Vice President is currently one of the country’s largest employers.

Atiku currently employs over 5,000 people, according to Reno, who claims that he pays them around the national minimum wage.

Reno Omokri said, “Earlier today, I called on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to contest for the 2023 presidential election and to declare on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

“I did that wholeheartedly and it is my belief and choice. I supported him in 2019 and I am supporting him now. I believe in what he is doing,” he added.

“Some persons have drawn my attention to the fact that Chile just elected a 35-year-old man as president. Nigeria is not Chile. We have peculiar challenges in Nigeria, one of them being unemployment. Insecurity is high in the country because we have a high rate of unemployment,” he said.

“Atiku Abubakar currently employs 50,000 people and he is paying them above minimum wage. This is the man that has throughout his life show that he knows how to create jobs and that is what the Nigerian Young people need.

“Don’t elect someone just because that person is young, Yahaya Bello is young but look at the disaster he is in Kogi State.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has almost destroyed the unity of this country, we need a uniter, we need someone who can make us one”.
