Reno Omokri recalls corruption case against Buhari’s ministerial nominee

Ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has made some corruption allegations against some of the names on the recently submitted ministerial nominees’ list.

According to Omokri, former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva who was also nominated was under investigation for N19 billion fraud. He also recalled that Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, who was also nominated that investigated Sylva.

In a tweet, Omokri wondered how both men will now fight corruption together in Buhari’s second term.

The former presidential aide tweeted, “Do you know that one of General @MBuhari’s ministerial nominees, Timipre Sylva, was prosecuted by another of General Buhari’s ministerial nominees, Festus @FKeyamo when Sylva was facing a ₦19 billion fraud case?

“Both of them will now fight corruption with Buhari!”

Keyamo and Sylva are among the ministerial nominees whose names were submitted to the Senate on Tuesday by President Buhari for screening and approval.

The Senate also commenced screening of the nominees on Wednesday.
