Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has apologized to the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu for mocking him over his health.
The former special adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, in a post on Facebook, also advised Nigerians to refrain from insulting candidates.
Omokri, who noted that Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have been friends for over 20 years, also urged Nigeria to shun bitter politics as election will go but Nigeria will remain.
Omokri said: “I have been guilty of using Bola Tinubu’s health status against him and I have come to realise that if we do not die early, we will all age and may suffer ill health,”
“Therefore, I profoundly apologise to Mr. Tinubu and his supporters. Even though it may seem that the health of a candidate is a serious issue, I nevertheless promise to focus on other issues besides his health henceforth. May God bless you all.
“Atiku, Tinubu, and Obi have been friendly with each other for upwards of 20 years.
“So, you and I should support anyone other them without being unfriendly to each other.
“I will campaign for my candidate, but won’t force him on you. Please do likewise with me! This election will come and go.
“But Nigeria will remain, and God sparing our lives, we will also remain. No insults, no threats, no slander.”
