Tribunal judgement: Reno Omokri predicts outcome of Peter Obi’s petitions, says "It is most unlikely"

The PDP chieftain made this assertion in an interview on THE MIC ON SHOW (a podcast) anchored by Seyi Okinbaloye of Channels TV, held on Saturday, August 26, 2023.

Speaking on whether Obi has a chance at the presidential tribunal or the supreme court, Omokri said

"Peter Obi does not have any chance. Obi does not have the national spread, he came third, and there is no basis for him. And he is not even claiming in his petitions that he won the election. He is not claiming that he should be proclaimed the winner.
What he is asking for which he is unlikely to get is that the election should be cancelled and that there should be a rerun.
"So if you look at his own case, his own case is hopeless, Waziri Abubakar has a more hopeful case and then we hope that judges will look at it."

Reno Omokri drags AriseTV, Rufai Oseni over Tinubu's certificate

Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lashed out at Arise TV and its programme anchor, Rufai Oseni, over alleged false information.

In a tweet on Friday morning, August 25, Omokri alleged that Oseni claimed in an interview with him on November 22, 2022, that the Chicago State University, in a subpoena, denied that President Bola Tinubu was not a graduate of the institution.

Atiku’s lawyer says Tinubu has 2 Chicago University certificates

Angela Liu, the lawyer to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in the US, has alleged that Chicago State University provided two similar certificates indicating that President Bola Tinubu attended its institution.

Liu said this in response to a submission by Tinubu’s lawyers.

She said three people signed the first certificate while two signed the other.
