Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has described President Bola Tinubu as a highly emotionally intelligent leader who can convert enemies into allies.
Omokri believes this trait will help Tinubu secure his re-election in 2027.
In a video shared on his X handle on Friday, December 27, Omokri praised Tinubu’s ability to work with former foes, citing this as a key factor in his predicted re-election victory.
Omokri noted that emotionally intelligent individuals can reconcile with enemies, except in cases where fundamental differences, such as faith, are insurmountable.
He cited the example of the United States’ shift from enemies to major trading partners with Germany and Japan after World War II.
