Reno Omokri Raises Concerns Over MTN Glitch During AFCON Final

Former Presidential Aide Suspects Deliberate Action Behind MTN's Technical Issues During AFCON Final

In response to recent technical glitches encountered by MTN during the AFCON Final, former Presidential Aide Reno Omokri took to Twitter to express his concerns, hinting at potential deliberate interference. Drawing parallels to previous incidents, such as a similar glitch during a Nigeria-South Africa match, Omokri suggests a pattern that raises suspicion.

Reno Omokri then advocates for bolstering Nigerian brands and products, urging consumers to opt for domestic alternatives like Glo for calls, Innoson vehicles for transportation, and prioritizing locally made goods and services over foreign ones.

In his tweet, Omokri stated, "MTN suffered a serious glitch during the #AFCONFinal finals. Even now, many Nigerians on the network can not make calls. Was this deliberate? Just like the 'technical glitch' suffered by DSTV when Nwabali was saving penalties during the Nigeria-South Africa match? Listen, Nigeria, when push comes to shove, only your own can be for you. Call with Glo. Drive an Innoson. Build with Dangote. Where a made-in-Nigeria alternative is available, choose it over foreign goods and services. Let us #GrowNairaBuyNaija."

Meanwhile the Super Eagles of Nigeria lost 2-1 to the host nation Côte D'Ivoire in the final of the 2023 African Cup of Nations tournament. 

Goals from Frank Kessie and Sebastian Haller's goals sealed the comeback after Williams Troost Ekong's opener for Nigeria.
