Reno Omokri, former presidential aide and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticised Peter Obi, the flagbearer of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, for not sharing an update of his meeting with Atiku Abubakar.
In a post shared on his X page on Friday, May 17, Omokri expressed concern over Obi’s decision to post himself honouring the request of a young pupil but did not post the picture of his meetings with Atiku and other PDP bigwigs.
Recall that an 11-year-old primary school student, Tolu, was astonished to discover that his letter to the former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, had reached him.
The message was a letter of invitation to the kid’s graduation ceremony at Corona School in Gbagada, Lagos.
Obi got the letter, accepted the invitation, and turned up at the young student’s school.
Reacting to the development, Omokri suggested that Obi’s tá»xic followers had isolated him, prompting speculation about rejoining the PDP.
The PDP chieftain tweeted:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier 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
