Former presidential aide under Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Reno Omokri, on Wednesday, challenged President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, to spend a night in Koshebe, Borno State, or Kware in Sokoto State, without security and receive a monetary gift of $20,000 from him.
Omokri made the challenge following a statement by Shehu that President Muhammadu Buhari had made Nigeria safer than it was before.
I Vow To Pay Garba Shehu, @GarShehu, $20,000 If He Will Spend a Night in Either Kware or Koshobe To Prove His Claim That #Buhari Has Secured Nigeria. The Money Will Be Paid To The Umpire, Chief @DeleMomodu#ProveThatNigeriaIsSecure https://t.co/zUFYd2JLyK

In his tweet, Reno said: “Garba Shehu said General @MBuhari has made Nigeria safer. I vow to pay @GarShehu $20,000 if he will spend a night without security in Koshobe, or Kware, verified by an independent journalist. I will give the funds to @DeleMomodu when Garba accepts to go”
Responding to Reno’s challenge, Garba Shehu rejected it, saying “If this is the money from the collections made in the name of Leah Sharibu, the unfortunate Christian girl stolen by Boko Haram, I won’t touch it with a long (spoon). Please keep “your USD20000”.
