One of the spokespersons for the Atiku presidential campaign and former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has described how Peter Obi has disrupted politics in Nigeria.
Omokri who was once an ardent admirer of the former Anambra State Governor, became extremely critical of Obi the moment he was engaged as image maker for the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
In a an interesting twist of events however, after the Labour Party supporters turned out in their numbers on October 1 in London, Lagos, Kaduna and Edo State and many parts of Nigeria, Omokri’s respect and admiration for Peter Obi was ignited again.
He noted in as much as he believes Obi will not win the elections, but anyone who belittles the supporters of Labour Party candidate known as Obidients, is not politically astute.
On the 1st of October, being Nigeria’s Independence Day, thousands of supporters nearly all of whom were youths hit the streets shutting down Kaduna, Bauchi, Edo, and many parts of Lagos State, including Festac, Lekki, Ajegunle.
Reacting, the former presidential aide said in a post on his verified social media handles that Peter Obi has successfully disrupted politics in the country.
According to Reno Omokri, “The simultaneous Obidient rallies at Festac, Amuwo, Lekki, Kaduna, and other towns and cities across Nigeria, was AMAZING.
“They are a great achievement and anyone who tries to belittle them is not politically astute. It is not just the sheer number of attendees. Imagine the logistics behind organising people at different ends of the nation. Commendable. Very commendable.
“While Obi will not win in 2023, he has successfully disrupted politics in Nigeria. Take Kaduna state. On August 15, 2022, Nasir El-Rufai boasted that Obi won’t get “two hundred persons on the street.
“Today, we saw close to 2000. Yes, a lot of them are persons of Southeastern origins. But for one man’s ambition to mobilise them in such mesmerising numbers is something to be admired. Politics without bitterness should be encouraged.
“Well done Obi. Well done Obidients! Just a little piece of advice: Tone down the insults and aggressiveness, then the number of people of non Southeastern origin in your movement will increase. Remember your goal. You are preparing for an election, not an insurrection.”
