Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has listed options Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer in the last election, can consider in the 2027 general election.
Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a post shared on his X page on Saturday, May 18, said it is either Obi dumped his party LP or join the PDP.
Reacting to Peter Obi’s meeting with Atiku Abubakar, Omokri stated that it is either the former governor of Anambra state, “labour in vain in the LP or labour in pain in the PDP.”
According to Omokri, the PDP cannot give Obi the presidential ticket in 2027, but might make him Atiku’s running mate.
The social critic, however, concluded noted that Obi’s leaked audio tape with Bishop David Oyedepo has rendered him a “political pariah.”
The PDP chieftain tweeted:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Reno Omokri said no northerner will agree to contest the presidency alongside Peter Obi in the 2027 elections.
According to Omokri, Atiku Abubakar, NNPP flagbearer Rabiu Kankwaso, and the former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai will not be willing to work with Obi, as many speculated.
Omokri wondered about the significance of Obiâs rapprochement with northern powerbrokers in the PDP. He stressed that âright now, Peter Obi is tainted.â
