“We also appreciate Mr Omokri’s frustration arising from his dimming image after his catastrophic choice of candidate for 2023 and his struggle to perform the impossible of convincing the people that rusty iron can be gold.
“We also know that Omokri belongs to the group that needs to mention Labour Party’s Peter Obi in every online commentary to remain visible on social media, where Obi is not only trending but also rules the waves.”
Reno Omokri: Tinubu biggest beneficiary of Peter Obi’s ambition
Writing on his Facebook page, Omokri said the votes Obi will likely get are votes that would have naturally gone to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His words:
“The biggest beneficiary of Peter Obi’s presidential race is Tinubu, not Obidients. Peter won’t affect APC’s votes.
The votes he will likely get are votes that would have naturally gone to PDP, including in the southeast, some non-Yoruba Lagos votes, a chunk of Benue votes, and a few votes in peripheral states.”
