Omokri Clarifies Statement On Tinubu Attending Chicago State University

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has asserted that West African countries who rely on Wagner forces have become a headless mob.

Omokri stated this amidst reports that the head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash.

According to reports from Russian state-run news agencies, the plane which had been in flight for less than 30 minutes reportedly caught fire after crashing.

Earlier reports had indicated that the new junta in the Niger Republic had asked for help from Wagner.

Speaking via Twitter on Wednesday, Omokri sent a warning to West African military rulers who rely on Wagner for help.

He insisted that Wagner has its limits and described those who had depended on the Russian mercenary group as a headless mob.

He subsequently called on African countries to come together to pursue its own interest and not that of the west.

He said, “I hope these West African military rulers who rely on Wagner forces are taking in what just happened. Wagner has its limits. After today, they are now what we in Nigeria call a ‘headless mob’. Africa must unite and pursue its own interests. Not the interests of the West, Russia, or China. But our own interests. And our interests are served by having political stability in our regions and unity in the continent.”
