Reno Omokri Vows To Destroy Obidient Movement, Calls Peter Obi His Project

Former Presidential Aide Reno Omokri Reveals Why He Vowed to Destroy Obidient Movement

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has disclosed the reason behind his firm decision to dismantle the Labour Party’s (LP) Obidient Movement.

Omokri, an ardent supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stated in an interview with News Central that his stance against the movement is rooted in his past political involvement with Peter Obi.

Peter Obi Was My Political Project – Omokri

Omokri explained that he played a pivotal role in making Peter Obi the running mate of Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election. He emphasized that he has records and documents to support this claim.

According to him, members of the Obidient Movement launched personal attacks against him, his wife, and his child. These attacks, he claimed, escalated to the point where his family’s safety was at risk.

“Peter Obi’s movement, Obidients, started attacking me, threatening me, and insulting me. Initially, I ignored them. However, when they extended these threats to my family, I had to take action. My wife and I were trailed while jogging in the United Kingdom, and my child was also threatened,” Omokri stated.

Vow to Destroy the Obidient Movement

Omokri further disclosed that after Peter Obi failed to intervene and address his concerns, he resolved to use all political resources at his disposal to weaken the Obidient Movement.

“I took an oath to dismantle that movement because Peter Obi was a project of mine. I was responsible for making him Atiku’s running mate in 2019. But when Obidients started attacking my family, I had no choice but to fight back,” he asserted.

Backlash and Political Reactions

Omokri’s statement has sparked widespread reactions across political circles. While some critics see his stance as an attempt to discredit the Obidient Movement, others argue that his grievances reflect the increasing toxicity in Nigeria’s political discourse.

Conclusion

The Obidient Movement, which gained massive support in the 2023 elections, remains one of the most vocal political groups in Nigeria. Omokri’s vow to destroy the movement adds another layer to the ongoing political discourse surrounding Peter Obi’s influence in Nigerian politics.
