Yaba, Lagos state - Reno Omokri, the outspoken former special assistant on social media to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has described claims that WAEC deleted their post about Peter Obi's achievements in education as "propaganda".

According to the diaspora-based social media personality, the claim that WAEC is planning to mass-fail Anambra state students to make Obi look bad is "disinformation".

Omokri tweeted on Saturday night, April 27:

"This propaganda about @waecnigeria deleting their post about Peter Obi's achievements in education is another reason why we need social media regulation in Nigeria. If not, people will keep knowingly spreading news that they know to be false at the time of posting."

He continued:

"God gave you a brain. If WAEC wants to delete anything, would they not delete it on X? Yet, their post is still there. It is the YouTube link that they posted that is no longer valid, because the video has been deleted from YouTube. How can you accuse them of deleting a YouTube video that was not theirs?

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain concluded:

"You can easily research and verify that WAEC has NEVER had a YouTube channel. Yet, you just spread the disinformation and even allege that WAEC is planning to mass fail Anambra students to make Obi look bad. How does that even make sense? Is Obi the current Governor of Anambra?

"You guys are just alienating right-thinking Nigerians from your movement!

"If social media is not regulated, Obidients will set Nigeria on fire."
