Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has challenged Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election.

Omikri urged Obi to offer automatic employment to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye, who went viral for criticising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration.

Omokri, in a post shared on his X page on Tuesday, March 18, urged Obi to back his admiration for Ushie’s moral values with action by employing her in one of his companies.

Reacting, Reno Omokri argued that if Peter Obi truly believed Ushie embodied a good upbringing and the right moral virtues, he should integrate her into his workforce to inspire similar behaviour among his employees.

Omokri tweeted:

"Peter Obi has several companies. I urge him to put his money where his mouth is. If he thinks that the National Youth Service Corp member, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye, displayed a good upbringing and projected the right moral virtues, then I challenge him to offer her automatic employment in any of his companies so she can bring that attitude which he now so admires into his companies and teach all Peter Obi's employees to likewise behave like her."
