FCT, Abuja - Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, on Monday, June 26, said he told Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, about the formidability of a united opposition.

Writing on his verified social media pages, Omokri accused supporters of Obi of ‘working themselves up to an emotional state’.

He stated:

"If a united opposition could not defeat the APC's rigging machinery in 2019, how could a divided opposition do so in 2023? This is what I privately told Obi and publicly explained to Obidients. It is just common sense.
