NSA: He is blind to tribe, religion in performing his duties - What Reno Omokri said about Nuhu Ribadu

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has hailed President Bola Tinubu for upgrading the position of his Special Adviser on Security, Nuhu Ribadu describing it as his most impactful so far.

This comes after Tinubu in a statement released through Willie Bassey, Director, Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation upgraded Ribadu to National Security Adviser (NSA).

Reacting to the move, Reno recaled how he discussed how friends laughed off his suggestion that Ribadu will be fit for the position of NSA.

He said that Ribadu's appointment will help Tinubu’s administration and increase Nigeria’s standing in the international community.

Revealing the exceptional qualities of Ribadu, Reno Omokri said he is blind to tribe, religion, and region in performing his duties.

He wrote: “Four days ago, I said that Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is “effectively the National Security Adviser”. Some laughed. But today, there is no more ambiguity. Of all the appointments President Tinubu has made so far, this one is the most impactful. I have met leaders at various levels, yet, it is hard to say that I have encountered anyone as patriotic and morally upright as Mallam Ribadu.

“His sense of purpose will help ground President Tinubu’s administration and increase Nigeria’s standing in the international community.

“Mallam Ribadu is not a Northern Nigerian. He is a Nigerian who happens to come from the North. He is blind to tribe, region and religion in performing his duties. What he sees is character. And as long as you have it, you will pass the smell test with him.

“Congratulations again, big brother. My family and I celebrate with you”
