On April 23, 2022, at precisely 4:47 PM, Reno Omokri, a former presidential assistant, tweeted from his iPhone to praise Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, over his rivals in the South.

The socio-political activist and influencer tweeted: “Peter Obi is an excellent candidate. Of all the Southern candidates, none is close to him in terms of records of past performance. He became a Governor without a Godfather. He fought powers to retain his mandate. And when he got it, he performed. He overperformed!”.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, Omokri has subsequently continued to tweet about the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate (LP).

Omokri has demonstrated his unflinching support for Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, ahead of the general elections of 2023.

The author of the book has made various claims and publications that undermine Obi’s competence while also condemning Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, who he had previously acknowledged as being an intelligent politician while supporting him on his social media channels.

In one of his threads, Omokri said about Obi: “If we are to be objective, it is obvious Peter Obi has a very bad relationship with easily verifiable facts, whether it be in economics, governance, his investments, or sports. He needs a better research team. These schoolboy errors may evidence a lack of depth!”

Anaedoonline.ng understands that the former presidential aide made the above statement in reaction to a recent declaration by Obi.

“To show that your remedy is worse than the malady it is meant to cure, consider that when anyone declares for Peter Obi, you guys label him a patriot. But when they declare for Atiku, you declare that he has been bribed. Did Atiku bribe Obi to support him in 2019?” Omokri said in a recent Tweet.

Acknowledging Tinubu’s previous achievements yet giving him a knock, Omokri said: “In terms of managing men and money, Tinubu is far better than Obi, though I agree he is a crook. He increased Lagos’s IGR revenue far better than Obi did in Anambra. And he installed successors that are loyal to him, while Obiano fell out with Obi within months!”

Omokri had also compared Obi to a mere market trader in one of his publications recently. He said: “Obi is just a trader. Pure and simple. The only thing that differentiates him from a Wuse market trader is volume. He imports products on a massive scale for resale in Nigeria. It is hypocritical for Nigeria’s greatest consumer to campaign on production!”.

He added in another tweet: “Apart from his investment in a beer brewery and other alcohol-related investments, what does Peter Obi manufacture in Nigeria? He is the single greatest individual importer in Nigeria. Bar none. And yet he is railing against consumption? Abi na juju be that?

“Peter Obi owns Next Cash & Carry. Go there. From the beginning of the shop to the end, almost everything is imported. And this is the man crisscrossing Nigeria telling gullible Obidients that he will move Nigeria from consumption to production? Buhari promise.”

Anaedoonline.ng understands that Obi’s supporters who identified themselves as the ‘Obidients’, have always come hot on Omokri whenever he makes demeaning comments about their candidate on the microblogging platform.

Some of these ‘attacks’, however, do not settle well with Omokri as he recently called out Obi to warn his staunch supporters.

Omokri tweeted: “Peter, I promised you I will leave you alone, unless your attack dogs, who I told you about on phone, and who our mutual friend talked to you about when he approached me, attack me. Today they did. You either call them to order, or you bear the consequences.”

Holding the flag of the LP, Obi is considered the third force in the forthcoming general elections. Though many have believed that the presidential hopeful could only win on social media, Twitter especially.
