Reno Omokri, a controversial social media influencer, author and political analyst has congratulated Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York City, United States of America.
Omokri is particularly thrilled to note that New York, a predominantly Christian- dominated American city, has elected an Indian-descented Muslim as the Mayor, a testament to the fact that the NYC electors are not influenced by religion or race in the but rather by their trust in the competence of the political figures in contest.
Reno penned on his Facebook page as follows:
“It is undoubtedly a remarkable thing that two of the most significant cities in Western civilisation, which used to be the centres of projecting Judaeo-Christian hegemony, are now governed by Muslims, who were popularly elected. By this, I refer to first London and now New York City.
“These are extraordinary times in which we live. The world is changing rapidly, but some people are not willing to accept that it has changed, and that, in many places, people are no longer bound by the chains of race, religion, region, and other primordial sentiments.
“Like Rishi Sunak, the immediate past British Prime Minister, Zohran Mamdani has Ugandan African roots, so his win is a plus for Africa.
“Beyond that, I urge Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the British opposition, to note that Mr. Mamdani won his spectacular victory without disparaging his Indian ethnicity, or his parents’ home country of India. Perhaps if Mrs. Badenoch had taken this approach, she would not be in a position where more than half the members of the British Conservative Party do not want her as their leader.
“I also hope those Nigerians who celebrate when outsiders try to divide us and influence us to segregate ourselves can see how a city with a Christian majority and a sizeable Jewish population of 11% has voted in a practising Muslim, where Muslims form less than 10% of the population.
“Let us learn from this and understand that the difference between us as Nigerians is not Muslims versus Christians or vice versa, but between good and evil people. We, the good people of Nigeria, far outnumber the few evil people, and together, we shall overcome them.
“May God bless Nigeria and the United States, and may peace and prosperity reign between our two nations.”
