Presidency: Intrigues As Atiku's Campaigner Condemns Peter Obi, Commends Tinubu

  • Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide and strong campaigner of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, has said no supporter of Peter Obi, the LP flagbearer, will relocate from Lagos to Anambra
  • Omokri made this claim while dismissing the claim of Obi, who was a former governor of Anambra, that he would lift Nigerians out of poverty if elected in the forthcoming election
  • According to Omokri, the claim would have been better justified if it was Bola Tinubu of the APC that made such a comment because of his achievement as governor of Lagos state

Reno Omokri, one of the prominent chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a strong supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, has pulled some stunts.

Omokri took to his Twitter page on Wednesday evening to state that if Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer could not lift people out of poverty when he was the governor of Anambra, how would he do that at the national level?
