Buhari Should Be Jailed For Lying To Nigerians That Nigeria Has $33 billion Worth of Foreign Reserves – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, in a post shared on Twitter, asserted that the immediate-past administration lied to Nigerians about the foreign reserves.

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has accused ex-president, Muhammadu Buhari of lying to Nigerians.

Omokri said Buhari lied to Nigerians about the country's foreign reserves.

This comes after JP Morgan Chase’s shocking revelation that puts Nigeria’s foreign reserves at $3 billion.

Recall that the American multinational financial services firm, in a report, revealed that a combination of foreign exchange forwards, securities lending, currency swaps, and outstanding contracts had weakened Nigeria’s net external reserves to an all-time low of $3.7 billion as of the end of last year.

On the contrary, data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) states that external reserves stood at $33.88 billion as of August 10, down from $37.08 billion at the end of last year.

In a Twitter post, Omokri called for the imprisonment of Buhari.

He tweeted, “So, all this time, the Buhari administration lied to Nigerians and boasted that we had $33 billion worth of foreign reserves. Now, JP Morgan Chase, the US bank, has exposed them. My question is this, why is Buhari still enjoying freedom in Daura?

“Nigerians remember how he persecuted an innocent Jonathan. But look at the sordid mess of corruption oozing out of his regime.

“If JP Morgan Chase is lying, then General Buhari should speak. If they are not, General Buhari should also speak, but from prison!”
