Reacting angrily to the development, Reno Omokri, a former special assistant on social media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, said those attacking Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over ₦7 billion presidential yacht are hypocrites.

"Just look at how the same people that rightly criticised the ₦7 billion Presidential yacht are now justifying the ₦1 billion that the Labour Party government of Alex Otti spent on food in just three months. When asked to define hypocrisy in an exam, just write Obidients and Arise Peoples Party. I assure you you will get 100% for that question!
