Omokri described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as the greatest Nigerian alive or dead.
According to him, Obasanjo has contributed a lot to the nation with the payment of entire foreign debts during his tenure as President and also entrenched democracy in Nigeria and the rest of Africa.
Omokri also insisted that the Federal Government should honor Obasanjo following his role in brokering a peace deal in Ethiopia.
He wrote: “I appeal to the Central Bank of Nigeria to consider putting President Obasanjo’s image on the redesigned naira. He is the greatest Nigerian living or dead. He and Atiku paid our entire foreign debts. He entrenched democracy and has now brought peace to Ethiopia.

“Obasanjo ended the Nigerian Civil War, and Liberian Civil War, prevented a civil war in São Tomé and has now ended the Ethiopia-Tigray Civil War, and someone is saying that the CBN should not put him (his image) on the redesigned naira note because he is still alive? Nonsense!
“South Africa put Mandela’s image on their currency while he was still alive. The Benin Republic put living Olympians on her currency. Many other nations have living people on their currencies. President Obasanjo deserves the honor for what he has done for Nigeria and Africa!.”
