Human rights activist and lawyer, Reno Omokri has implored Nigerian youths to approach the 2023 elections like they did with reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, saying that they shouldn’t be BBNaija wise and Aso Rock foolish.
In an Instagram post on Monday, the 47-year-old said that just as they waited patiently until the BBNaija phone lines were open for voting, they should use the same energy for the upcoming elections.
Sharing a photo of BBNaija housemates alongside politicians, he said; “Dear Nigerian youths,
“The 2023 elections are almost here. Approach it like you did with #BBNaija. Form teams for your preferred candidate.
“Spend your money campaigning for them. Broadcast their manifestos to all your contacts.
“Forget about rice and pay the price for your future. Don’t be BBNaija wise and Aso Rock foolish! You say your PVC does not count. Who told you?
“Rigging is only successful when there is low voter turnout out. But where there is a high voter turnout, rigging is all but impossible.
“You waited patiently until the BBNaija phone lines were open for voting.
“Now, prepare to wait patiently in line, until the PVC machine reads you vote!
In a subsequent post he further said; “I know there are no naked girls in Nigeria’s elections the way there are in #BBNaija.
“But believe me when I say that if you sit back and do not participate, the wrong candidate, who will make the treasury naked will be elected to rule YOU! And they will use it to consolidate their naked lust for power.
“They will protect Buhari, instead of protecting you, leaving you naked and ashamed that you gave your focus to BBNaija, instead of your beloved Naija!”
