JONATHAN TO EX-AIDE: Show more respect and kindness to Buhari

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has cautioned Reno Omokri to show more respect and kindness to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Omokri, who was a former aide to Jonathan, disclosed this in a recent tweet on his verified twitter handle.

He wrote: “I just don’t know how God created @GEJonathan. I have never met a man, whether Pastor, Imam or Pope, with as much humility as former President Jonathan. He called me and appealed to me to show more respect and kindness to @MBuhari. Would Buhari do that to him or Obj or IBB?”

Jonathan was defeated by Buhari as incumbent President in 2015. He had, while the official result was yet to be announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), called and congratulated Buhari to the surprise of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and many of his followers.
