Omokri said this while reacting to a comment made by Junaid Mohammed, a second republic lawmaker.
According to Daily post, Mohammed said “If
anything happens to Buhari the north will insist on being in power till
2027. Those who see Buhari as their representative and are not being
treated justly are going to claim their own rights and the only way you
are going to resolve the issue is that after Buhari’s administration,
you have it zoned to the north for eight to 10 years.”
In his response, Omokri said “Recently,
Nigerians woke up to a rude and not so subtle threat issued by one
cantankerous fellow, Junaid Mohammed, who has an over bloated opinion of
himself and the weight his words carry in Nigeria.
“Without
deigning to repeat his repugnant and provocative threats, let me
respond to Junaid Mohammed and any other person that thinks along those
lines.
“First, I and those I represent
pray for President Muhammadu Buhari’s recovery, but if what Junaidu
Mohammed is contemplating should occur (and it is highly disappointing
that Junaid should be contemplating such instead of praying for the
president), then it is the Nigerian constitution that will dictate what
will happen next and not Junaid, or Northern Nigeria or any other part
of Nigeria for that matter.
“For the avoidance of doubt, there is no first class or second class citizen in Nigeria.
“No
part or citizen of Nigeria needs permission from another part or
citizen of Nigeria before they can lay claim to what has been freely
given to them by the Nigerian Constitution which is the Grundnorm and
basis for the existence of Nigeria.
“We
are all equal. And if Junaidu Mohammed and those he speaks for do not
like it, they should take the Oba of Lagos’s advise and jump into the
lagoon. Nothing, I repeat nothing, must happen to Vice President
Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
“His fate is in the hand of God and not in the hand of proud and presumptuous mortals like Junaid and those he speaks for!
“My
advise to Junaid Mohammed is that he confine his busybody to praying
for the President rather than pontificate about a post Buhari Nigeria
when the President is very much alive.”
According
to reports, President Buhari has been suffering from an undisclosed
ailment, and is currently receiving treatment in London.
