Peter Obi’s only function in 2023 was as an ungrateful character, blinded by ambition, who chose to bite the hand that fed him, which led him to contest against Waziri Atiku Abubakar and, by so doing divided the opposition vote. If Obi had not contested the #NigerianElections2023, Atiku would have won.
Former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has reacted to President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 US Presidential race.
Omokri, in a post published on his verified X handle on Sunday, noted that Biden’s choice to step aside underscores an admirable example that Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 elections, could have followed.
The social influencer maintained that Peter Obi’s unbridled ambition propelled him to run, splitting the opposition’s votes and handing the trophy to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, the only thing Peter Obi accomplished in 2023 was to be an ungrateful, egotistical person, which caused him to run against the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar and ruin the opposition’s chances.
His words: “Joe Biden has just done what Peter Obi ought to have done in 2023. Peter Obi had no chance in 2023 and has even less chance in 2027 after his misadventure of his leaked ‘YES DADDY’ audio.
“Peter Obi’s only function in 2023 was as an ungrateful character, blinded by ambition, who chose to bite the hand that fed him, which led him to contest against Waziri Atiku Abubakar and, by so doing, divided the opposition vote. If Obi had not contested the #NigerianElections2023, Atiku would have won.
“He should have summoned the courage and patriotism to his country and loyalty to his party that President Biden has now shown.
“Sadly, I feel so personally responsible due to my role in making that ingrate Waziri Atiku’s running mate in 2019. May God forgive me. I sincerely and penitently apologise to Waziri Atiku Abubakar. I thought I knew the man.
“Greedy, over-ambitious, desperate, slippery, and highly manipulative. Peter Obi, Arise TV and Obi’s media team are DIRECTLY in control of the influencers who insult, abuse, and threaten others for not supporting Peter Obi on social media. He tells them who to attack.
“Just imagine! A man who could not build even one nursery, primary, secondary or university, a man under whom Onitsha became the dirtiest place on planet Earth, with the worst pollution, according to the World Health Organisation, a man under whom hundreds of young men were killed and their bodies dumped into the Ezu River. A man under whom doctors went on strike for thirteen months. Who bought 400 SUVs for Anambra igwes, then hypocritically criticised the National Assembly for buying 400 cars for Legislators.
“This is the same man who tried to pull the wool over the eyes of Nigerians, claiming he was a better choice than Waziri Atiku.
“Contest in 2027. If you get up to the votes you got in 2023, I vow to retire from politics permanently!”
I thought it was Biden that stepped down for the VP. Atiku could have stepped down for Obi the younger person. I don’t understand you Reno. This animosity against Obi is getting out hand.
