Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has said that the United States is the reason Nigeria is facing a terrorism problem.
The political commentator and social media influencer made this allegation on Monday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on ‘Prime Time,’ a program on Arise Television.
“There’s a moral responsibility on the United States because this problem of terrorism was brought to the doorstep of Nigeria by Barack Obama’s administration.
“If Obama’s administration had not intervened in Libya, Gaddafi wouldn’t have been killed. And if Gaddafi hadn’t been killed and all these foreign mercenaries had not left Libya to come here, there wouldn’t be this terrorism in Nigeria.
“If the United States had not done what they did in Libya, we would not be facing a torrent of terrorism, not just us but the Sahel region as well.
“Nigeria is paying a price for what it didn’t cause. Thankfully, Trump lifted objections and began selling weapons to us, but the US caused these problems, and they need to help us fix them,” Omokri said.
