FCT, Abuja - Reno Omokri, a former special assistant on social media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has asked 'end bad governance' agitators not to protest in Lagos because it is one of the states with the lowest poverty rates in Nigeria.

Omokri said poverty exists in states like Enugu and Ebonyi state, thus 'End bad governance' agitators should take their planned August protest there.

"According to the latest Multidimensional Poverty Index released by the National Bureau of Statistics, Lagos and Ondo have the lowest poverty rates in Nigeria. Please see the attached image."So, if this protest is really about poverty and hardship, then it should be held where there is poverty and hardship, not where there is prosperity and fellowship."You cannot go to the sea to fight desertification. And you should not protest in Lagos against poverty that exists in Ebonyi, Enugu and Bayelsa. Go and protest where the poverty is."
