Reno Omokri, a former presidential adviser, has responded to the request for the arrest of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi.
According to news sources, Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign committee, has requested that the former Anambra Governor be arrested for inciting and treasonable felony.
In a statement on his Twitter account, Omokri expressed concern that such a move might incite the Igbos.

According to him, the South East was already dissatisfied with the country’s power dynamics, and arresting Obi would be like stoking the embers.
He believes Obi and Nnamdi Kanu are the most popular Igbo men in the planet and should not be messed with.
He threatened that if Tinubu or President Muhammadu Buhari imprisoned Obi, Southern Nigeria would fully support him.
He wrote, “Already, the South East feels left out in cold, and completely shut out of the power dynamic in Nigeria, with the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, despite a court judgment ordering his release. And now, Festus Keyamo wants to add insult to injury by calling for Peter Obi’s arrest? Is Nigeria deliberately provoking the Igbos or what?

“Nnamdi Kanu and Peter Obi are the most popular Igbo men on planet Earth. And Peter Obi happens to be massively popular beyond your Southeast. With Kanu in detention, the Southeast is under pressure, with one full day being lost to commercial activities every week.
“And now, Keyamo wants Peter Obi in jail? If either General Buhari or Bola Tinubu tries it, they may end up uniting Southern Nigeria behind Peter Obi, and they do not want that at all. In fact, very, very at all as the late Fela Kuti would say.”
