Senator Shehu Sani has advised a former presidential aide Reno Omokri against challenging the Chief of Army Staff Tukur Buratai to physical combat.
Mr Omokri had on Sunday made an open challenge, saying all he wanted in November was to fight Buratai “man to man” with no weapons and referee.
However, Sani tweeted on Monday, discouraging Omokri from the plan.
“My friend @renoomokri, make you no fight the Army Chief. You no get 6 packs. Just open eye for am,” he wrote.
Omokri is a vocal critic of the Buhari administration and has accused the president of ordering the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate, Lagos on October 20.
But the army says its personnel did not shoot at protesters after being invited by the Lagos State Government to enforce the curfew imposed on the state.
