Ambassador Reno Omokri has praised President Bola Tinubu, describing him as the Moses of our time for his vision that gave birth to Eko Atlantic City.

According to him, like Moses, Tinubu parted the sea and created dry land, which is now called Eko Atlantic City in Lagos.

Omokri said this in a Facebook post slamming the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi.

He wrote, "This is a before-and-after photo of Eko Atlantic City, a visionary project conceived and developed by then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, built on land reclaimed entirely from the Atlantic Ocean. What you are looking at was just water, until Asiwaju Tinubu saw the future and, like Moses, parted the sea and turned it to dry land!

"Today, Eko Atlantic City is the most expensive commercial real estate in Sub-Saharan Africa, bar none.
With a total value of $6 billion, Eko Atlantic City is now worth more than the entire GDPs of 20 out of Nigeria's 36 states. Please fact-check me.

"To show Asiwaju Tinubu's ability to build relationships beyond partisan politics, religion, and region, even though they were in opposing political parties and were about to face each other in a keenly fought election just two years later, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu put Nigeria ahead of his own interests and ensured that then President Jonathan was invited to commission Eko Atlantic City on Thursday, February 21, 2013.

"Meanwhile, Peter Obi, who did not build even one nursery, secondary, or primary school and university in Anambra in his eight years as Governor, refused to celebrate Professor Wole Soyinka on his 90th and 91st birthdays because of their political disagreement after the 2023 election, when Professor Soyinka exposed him as a 'Gbajue'.

"Meanwhile, before and during the 2023 election, Peter Obi called Professor Soyinka his "father," was always in and out of Mr Soyinka's home, and never missed wishing Nigeria's only Nobel Laureate a happy birthday.

"That's the difference between a leader and a trader!

"Citizens of Nigeria, in 2027, Nigeria needs a President who builds new relationships, new cities, new schools, new hospitals, new power stations, and new roads, like the ongoing ₦15 trillion 750-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the ₦13 trillion Ilela-Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, and the $750 million Trans-Saharan Highway from Ebonyi to the North.

"Nigeria does not need a petty President who keeps malice more than Frank Edoho and whose main achievement as Governor was building a loss-making beer brewery, only to team up with another former Governor who banned beer in his state."
