Former presidential adviser Reno Omokri claims that Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is subtly exploiting Peter Obi of the Labour Party’s desire to prevail in the 2023 elections.
Omokri, who is renowned for being a fervent supporter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, claimed on Wednesday via his Twitter page that Tinubu is promoting the “Obidients” movement using proxies to harm Atiku’s chances after realizing that Obi is not a threat to his ambition.
He asserts that the only votes Obi might receive in the 2023 elections are those that would have supported the PDP.

Omokri tweeted: “The biggest beneficiary of Peter Obi’s Presidential race is Tinubu, not Obidients. Peter won’t affect APC’s votes. The votes he will likely get are votes that would have gone to PDP, including SE, some non Yoruba Lagos votes, and a few votes in peripheral states.
“Tinubu is a master tactician. He knows Peter Obi cannot win. He knows that very little of Peter’s votes, if any at all, will come from him. He is aware that Peter is eating into the PDP’s votes. So, he will promote Obi’s candidacy through proxies to deplete the PDP.”
