Reno Omokri, a Nigerian politician and socio-political commentator, has criticised the Nigerian Airforce for allowing APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu to land at the presidential wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Sunday.

Reno claimed that such an act demonstrates that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is willing to utilize its federal power to rig the upcoming presidential elections in Tinubu’s favor.

“Tinubu is a citizen like any other. The Presidential wings of Nigeria’s airports are for the use of the President, and those representing the FG. Tinubu does not fall into that category. The Nigerian Airforce must not allow itself to become Tinubu and APC’s poodle!” Reno Omokri said angrily.

On Twitter, he added: “Why would the Nigerian Airforce allow Bola Tinubu land in the Presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport? That is wrong, almost to the point of treason! It proves that the Buhari government is prepared to use federal might to rig him into power!

“Allowing Tinubu land in the Presidential wing is unethical. The man is not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces. Presidents Obasanjo, Yar’adua and Jonathan never did that. This reduces our airforce in the estimation of right thinking members of the public!

“In South Africa, heads rolled when the Gupta family landed in the Presidential wing of the Waterkloof airport. It almost brought down Zuma’s government. Is Nigeria a Banana Republic that Tinubu will just land in our Presidential wing and the airforce allows it?”
