Tribunal Judgement: Reno Omokri Predicts Outcome of Peter Obi’s Petitions, Says “It Is Most Unlikely”
- Public affairs commentator Reno Omokri has predicted the outcome of the petitions filed by Labour Party's Peter Obi at the election tribunal
- Omokri said it is most unlikely that the Presidential Election Petition Court will cancel the 2023 general election as Obi requested
- He explained that the LP presidential candidate's petitions were based on a technicality to nullify the nomination of President Bola Tinubu
Reno Omokri, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's former aide, has revealed why the petitions of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will be dismissed by the presidential election tribunal.
Omokri said Obi did not prove his case because he had no claim that he won the February 25 presidential election.

Peter Obi has no case
"Again, it is most unlikely that the Presidential Election Petition Court would grant Peter Obi's prayers to cancel the #NigerianElections2023 and order a new election. First of all, he did not prove his case simply because he had no case, and the damage to Nigeria far outweighs the personal benefit to Mr. Obi. He is basing his whole case on a technicality, seeking to nullify the nomination of President Bola Tinubu and his deputy.

Meanwhile, the way he emerged as the Labour Party candidate is very shady indeed. It is doubtful that Peter Obi was even on the Labour Party register when it was submitted to INEC. He is more likely to suffer from a technicality than benefit from one.
In a post shared via his Twitter page @renoomokri, he added that the damage of cancelling the 2023 election to Nigeria far outweighs the personal benefit to Obi.
He also stated that Obi based his case on a technicality to nullify the nomination of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima. At the same time, he’s not sure the former Anambra state governor’s name was even on the Labour Party register when submitted to The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"He is more likely to suffer from a technicality than benefit from one."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Reno Omokri, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's former aide, has returned to Nigeria after a long absence.
The pragmatic Omokri made this known in a video posted on his social media page on Wednesday, August 9.
