Reno Omokri, a staunch critic of Bola Tinubu, has praised the president’s recent appointments of Femi Gbajabiamila, as new Chief of Staff, and George Akume, as Secretary to the Government of the Federation for showing religious balance.

According to Omokri, the president balanced the two major offices in his administration with a Muslim and a Christian.

Omokri in his reaction said, “I like how President Bola Tinubu balanced the two most important appointments in his government between Christians and Muslims, naming George Akume, a Christian Middle-Belter, as his Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and Femi Gbajabiamila, a Muslim Southwesterner, as his Chief of Staff.”

According to him, Both men have the necessary educational qualifications and political experience for the positions they are to fill calling them “Round pegs in round holes.“

“So far, he is keeping his promise of not Islamising his administration. So far, so good. If he derails, we will give details,” he said.

“We will still meet you in court, where I hope our petition to unseat you succeeds. But for now, well done!”
