Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has reacted to President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the November presidential election in the United States of America (USA).
Omokri criticized Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, noting that he should have resigned from contesting for president, just as US President Joe Biden did.
The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Omokri, described the former governor of Anambra state Obi as an “ungrateful character, blinded by ambition”.
In a post shared on his X page on Sunday, July 21, Omokri accused Obi of dividing the opposition vote, leading to the defeat of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, whom he supported.
Buttressing his point, Omokri argued that Obi had no real chance of winning the 2023 elections and had even less chance in 2027 after controversial incidents involving Nnamdi Kanu and leaked audio tapes.
Omokri expressed regret for his role in pairing Obi with Atiku as running mates in 2019 and offered a heartfelt apology to Atiku.
Speaking further, he claimed Peter Obi had no chance in 2023, and has even less of a chance in the 2027 election.
The PDP chieftain tweeted:
In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that President Bola Tinubu described the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.
The president said the development is distasteful and that violence has no place in a democracy, adding that the situation is condemnable.
Tinubu then sympathized with the former US President and other victims of the attack and wished them quick relief.
