Reno Omokri, former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has called out former Deputy Governor of CBN, Kingsley Moghalu over his wife’s post; advising Nigerians of South East Region to abstain from investing in Lagos on account of property demolition embarked by the Federal Government of Nigeria to pave way for the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project.
He wrote via X:
“Dear @MoghaluKingsley,
Is this really your spouse asking people not to invest in Lagos, or is this an impostor? She claims to be your wife, and you have reposted her on your timeline, in addition to photos of both of you as a couple.
As a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Presidential candidate, don’t you find this message troubling?
And even the current demolition exercise for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway does not only affect people of just one ethnic group. MOST of those affected are actually Yoruba, including the Oniru family and their Mami Chula Beach resort, amongst many others.
And beyond that, the demolition is not being carried out by the Lagos State Government. The Federal Government is implementing it under Dave Umahi. How can you blame Lagos for an action of the Federal Government? Do you know how many people lost properties when the Federal Government was building the Third Mainland Bridge? Are we not now all enjoying that bridge?
And even Peter Obi, while he was Governor of Anambra, which is your state of origin, demolished the property of private businesses to make room for a road. For example, he demolished Premier Breweries in 2013 to pave the way for a road in Awka. I have a video of that incident and can send it to you. The Federal Government is paying compensation. Obi NEVER paid compensation.
Would it have been fair for anyone to have said, ‘Invest in Anambra at your own peril’ because of that?
Perhaps you may want to ask your wife to revisit this statement?
Thanks, and may God bless you.”
