Reno Omokri, fmr. Special Assistant on New Media to fmr. Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, June 6, said supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), only slander him because of hatred.
Omokri, via his verified Twitter handle, quashed insinuations that he collected money from Bola Tinubu, the current president of Nigeria, to brazen Obi during the 2023 election.
Omokri further stated that Obi’s supporters are deficient in emotional intelligence.
He added that whether Obi’s supporters like it or not, Tinubu is Nigeria’s president.
The former aide wrote: “Sadly, many of Peter Obi’s supporters lack political maturity and emotional intelligence. If I praise Tinubu, they will attack me and say I have collected money from him or want appointments.
“These guys are better suited for war. In their minds, if you supported another candidate during the elections, you MUST hate Tinubu and condemn ANYTHING he does. But that is not politics. That is hatred.
The People’s Democratic Party supporter added that elections are over, and the case is now in court.
He said: “There is nothing we can do about it. Now, we must focus on the government. Who is the President for now? Tinubu. By law, even Peter Obi has to hang Tinubu’s photo in ALL his businesses.
“And from his ward to his Local Government to his State Government, they must all adorn Tinubu’s picture.”
