He said this is because Christianity and Islam are imported, while our ethnicities are God-given.
The social critic stated this via his X handle @renoomokri on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.
Omokri said Nigeria is a Muslim-majority country
“Peter Obi was the only Christian Presidential candidate from a major political party. “He ran against three powerful Muslim candidates, including Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who were all stronger than him politically.
“This meant that while Peter Obi received the bloc Christian vote, the Muslim Ummah's votes were divided three ways.
“Yet, a Muslim, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, won the election with 37.62% of the total votes cast, 8,794,726, while another Muslim, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, polled 29.88% of the votes cast, 6,984,520.
“Peter Obi, the Christian candidate, received 26.10% of the total votes cast, with 6,101,533, whereas Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso secured 6.40% of the total votes cast, with 1,496,687.
“To cut a long story short, in an election that was sadly turned into a referendum on religion by Peter Obi, the church-to-church jumper, Muslims were able to secure 73.9% of the total votes cast with 17,275,933 votes, while the only major Christian candidate secured 26.10% of the votes with 6,101,533."
