Reno Omokri, former media advisor to President Goodluck Jonathan, declares Peter Obi as Nigeria’s leading opposition figure.
Omokri, who previously supported Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaigns, dismisses claims from other politicians who consider themselves more influential opposition leaders, calling such assertions delusional.
In his Friday Facebook post, Omokri expressed admiration for Obi’s resilience in challenging circumstances.
The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the recent election, Peter Obi continues to maintain significant political influence.
In his post, Omokri says
“Peter Obi is currently the Number One opposition figure in Nigeria. Bar none.“
Anybody in any opposition party who thinks that he is bigger than Obi right now is just deluded”,
Omokri who is an avid critic of Obi stated in his post. He insisted that “some people in one or two opposition parties have already been retired by Obi, but they just don’t know it yet because their money is keeping them on political life support.
“If only he could be less Igbo-centric, appeal to his Obidients to use persuasive rather than abusive words and admit, then apologise for his ‘Yes Daddy” religious war’ comment against the Muslim Ummah, he would go far”.
