Reno Omokri has taken to his Facebook page to warn Christian Nigerians about what could happen if Bola Tinubu emerges as President. Then Special Assistant to the Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, who is known for using social media to conduct surveys and draw attention to the projects of the Nigerian government, decried the Muslim Muslim ticket decision of the APC 2023 presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Prior to his comment, the Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kashim Shetima, had recently reacted to the controversy trailing his nomination for the position. He said the former Lagos State governor(Bola Tinubu) did not Islamize his household and had allowed his wife to practice Christianity.
Reno made this statement on his Facebook media page after his visit to the ‘Blue Mosque’ in Istanbul:
”After conquering the Christian city of Constantinople, the Muslim Ottomans saw the beauty of the Hagia Sofia, then the biggest church on Earth. They converted it to a mosque, and also decided to build another mosque in almost the same architectural style as the Hagia Sofia. This is me at that mosque. The Blue Mosque!”
“I came here to remind Nigerians that we must preserve our religious balance by respecting each other’s faith. The Peoples’ Democratic Party respects that balance. The Labour Party respects it. But the Muslim-Muslim ticket of Bola Tinubu’s APC does not respect our religious diversity. And a vote for Tinubu may lead Nigerian Christians to the same fate of the ancient Christians of Asia Minor (now known as Turkey), will befall us!”
