Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has called for disciplinary action against Ushie Uguamaye, a youth corps member, after she criticized President Bola Tinubu.

Uguamaye, a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), voiced her frustration over Nigeria’s deteriorating economic situation, labeling President Tinubu as a “terrible leader.” Her remarks were sparked by the federal government’s failure to implement a promised N77,000 increase in the allowances for corps members.

The video, which quickly gained traction on social media, led to mixed reactions. Uguamaye claimed that NYSC officials had threatened her to remove the video and accused her of violating the NYSC code of conduct. However, she denied the allegations, asserting that she had not maliciously accused the government.

“I made sure not to accuse the government of anything maliciously! I questioned them. I asked questions. As an NYSC Corper, I did not sign off my freedom of speech”

In response to the controversy, many Nigerians took to social media to show support for Uguamaye, accusing the NYSC of intimidation.

In a post on X, Reno Omokri weighed in on the situation, attributing the incident to tribal discrimination. He called for Uguamaye’s disciplinary action, drawing a parallel to the NYSC’s earlier decision to terminate singer Davido’s participation for violating its rules. Omokri stressed,

“This is not about politics or ethnicity. Under President Buhari the NYSC disciplined Davido for flouting its rule. The people of the Southwest didn’t accuse the NYSC of tribalism, the PDP didn’t accuse President Buhari of witch hunting an opposition politician. There must be a rule of law in Nigeria rather than rule by sentiments”.
