However, Mr Reno Omokri, answer the report in style, but further investigation reported he was simply relegated – or tactically manoeuvred – for Obi Asika to provide direction & leadership for the image branding on Mr president social media.

In recent weeks, Mr Reno Omokri, has been in storm of controversy for his role in claiming that he found a link between former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, and Islamist terror group Boko Haram.

But was later caught by Nigeria tech savvy — for using a proxy of Wendell Simlin in the scenario, while last week he was accused of leading policemen to burglarize a house in Warri, Delta State that belonged to his late mother. The occupants of the house, including Alex Oyoro, a well known PDP political figure in Delta State, alleged that Mr. Omokri had led a group of thugs and mobile police officers who broke into the property and stole N25 million in cash.

The money, according to Mr. Oyoro, was meant for Mr. Jonathan’s re-election campaign.
