Reno Omokri, media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Wednesday night, wrote off presidential candidate of Labour Party Peter Obi, saying he can never make a good leader.
This is even as he accused the former Anambra governor and his ‘Obidient’ movement of religiously complying with the mandatory sit-at-home directive by the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Omokri, speaking on Channels TV Politics Today noted that the former governor lacks political wisdom for campaigning to Nigerians abroad who can’t vote.
“IPOB had a sit at home yesterday (Tuesday) and Obidients who hold meetings every day decided to obey the order yesterday, Peter Obi complies with this order too. This shows that they are observing IPOB more than our constitution.“
According to him, Obi is a political paperweight who will only attract votes from a particular region in the country.
He also believed that the politician, whose supporters have resorted to cyberbullying, is not capable of causing an upset in the political scene ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
“Right now, we have three major candidates and Atiku Abubakar is the only national and prepared candidate. If you talk about someone like Peter Obi, he is only a regional candidate.
“Obi is a political paperweight and that is why they have resorted to organised cyberbullying but when elections start, they will know it is beyond social media.”
