Obi also insisted that the tribunal reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential poll that was held on February 25.

Reacting to Obi's appeal at the supreme court, Omokri wrote on his verified X handle:

“I congratulate Peter Obi for filing his appeal at the Supreme Court, and I assure him that the same fate awaits him at the apex court.
“Meanwhile, we vividly remember how his Obidients insulted the Chief Justice of Nigeria when he was in a wheelchair before boarding a flight to London. As if they won't also grow old.”
