According to Omokri, Obi should represent Nigeria in lying at the next Olympics to guarantee that Nigeria brings home the Gold medal.

He affirmed thus:

“He can lie for Africa. How can Yoruba leaders ask Yoruba not to vote for Peter because he will build a port in SS, when SS already has many ports? #TableShaker.”

Tinubu doesn't operate that way, IPOB are responsible for such tweets, Omokri noted

Omokri further stated:

“I seriously doubt that that message @PeterObi claimed emanated from Tinubu is actually from @officialABAT. I know that the IPOB core around Peter are good at creating such messages and sending them out, claiming they are from Atiku and Tinubu. They’ve done it to me!”
