Oby Ezekwesili is a 'hypocrite' - Reno Omokri slams former minister over her silence on killings in Anambra

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has taken to the micro blogging platform, Twitter to rant over the former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili silence on the recent attack and killing in Anambra state.

On Tuesday, May 16, a United States convoy was attacked in Nigeria, killing four people, including two personnel from the US consulate and two police officers, with three others kidnapped.

According to John Kirby of the US National Security Council, persons killed were not US citizens. “No US citizens were involved and therefore there were no US citizens hurt, We are aware of some casualties, perhaps even some killed.”

Reacting to the incident, Reno called out Oby for keeping mute after the attack. He noted that her selective outrage on events taints her activism.

He said the former minister is quick to 'shout and chase clout' if it happens in the North, but keeps mute when it happens in the southeast.

Reno tweeted;

"US embassy staff were attacked yesterday in Anambra by unknown gunmen. Four have been reportedly killed. John Francis Kirby (US National Security Council Spokesperson) confirmed the incident during a
@WhiteHouse
press conference yesterday. Very sad. I condemn their attack and call for justice, especially as they were attacked while on a humanitarian aid mission to Anambra.

The interesting thing is that a day after these killings, Oby Ezekwesili, who is from Anambra, has unsurprisingly kept quite. It took Oby less than an hour to enter the streets and dance naked when Deborah Samuels was killed in Sokoto—less than an hour. Please do not take my word for it. Please verify.

Since these killings happened in her own state, Oby is loudly silent. Just as Oby has remained silent till today after a pregnant Northerner from Adamawa, Harira Jubril was killed by unknown gunmen in broad daylight, with her four underaged daughters, Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2.

Harira and her children were killed in Anambra on May 22, 2022. Oby Ezekwesili has NEVER condemned or even acknowledged the killings. Deborah Samuel was killed on May 12, 2022. Oby Ezekwesili condemned it the same day.

An hour after Deborah's killings, Oby tweeted this: ”Deborah sadly joins the long list of those who must be given Justice in this Land someday; no matter how long it takes for us to build a society where human life is respected and accorded dignity. Her “religious” killers will surely account. Someday. On earth and before God."

It is interesting to note that Oby Ezekwesili also never condemned the killing of Ahmed Gulak on May 31, 2021.

This selective outrage taints Oby's activism. If it happens in the North, Oby will shout and chase clout. If it occurs in the Southeast, Oby will go about and keep mute!

I hope the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and the State Department in Washington, DC pay close attention to Oby."
