Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has slammed the leaders in the South Eastern geo-political zone for keeping silent while the federal government uses airstrikes to terrorize communities in Orlu zone of Imo State.
In series of tweets he shared in reaction to the military operations taking place in Orlu, Omokri accused Igbo leaders of failing to come together to kick against the injustice melted out against their people.
He wrote:
“Buhari is a tribal bigot and I’m not surprised he sent troops and helicopters to Orlu. However, I’m more disappointed in SE leaders. If the North ever faced this type of injustice, Northern leaders will unite against their common oppressor. Where are SE leaders?
“Why are SE leaders not speaking or raising hell? I do not like everything Nnamdi Kanu does. But I respect him for his passionate love for his people. True leaders don’t keep quiet when their people are under attack. Where are the true leaders of the SE? Where?
“There were ethnic clashes between the Yoruba and Hausa in Sasa. in less than 48 hours, 4 Northern Governors went to Oyo to pressure Oyo’s government to give Northerners justice. 96 hours after Orlu’s invasion, how many SE leaders have visited Orlu in solidarity?
“If not for the Supreme Court Governor in Imo, the invasion of Orlu by troops, helicopters and artillery would not have happened. Emeka Ihedioha would never have allowed this. As bad as Rochas is, he would not allow this. Maybe this was why they wanted Uzodinma!“
