He said:

“IPOB had a sit at home yesterday (Tuesday) and Obidients who hold meetings every day decided to obey the order yesterday, Peter Obi complies with this order too. This shows that they are observing IPOB more than our constitution.“

Obi is a political paperweight, Omokri alleges

According to him, Obi is a political paperweight who will only attract votes from a particular region in the country.

He also believed that the politician, whose supporters have resorted to cyberbullying, is not capable of causing an upset in the political scene ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Omokri affirmed thus:

“Right now, we have three major candidates and Atiku Abubakar is the only national and prepared candidate. If you talk about someone like Peter Obi, he is only a regional candidate.
