Omokri wrote on his verified handle:
PAY ATTENTION: Сheck out news that is picked exactly for YOU ➡️ find the “Recommended for you” block on the home page and enjoy!
"Wait until Tinubu announces his cabinet and government, if the Supreme Court don't declare his candidacy void tomorrow as we pray. You will see prominent Obidients, including social media influencers that were fifth columnists in their movement, having influential posts under Tinubu. And only then will you guys know that you were used and dumped like a sanitary pad that has done its job."
Omokri versus Obidients
During the last election, Omokri supported the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Atiku, who came second in the election, contested for the fifth time.
As aide to Jonathan, Omokri served under a PDP administration.
During the electioneering, on election days, and after the polls, diaspora-based Omokri was locked in an online combat with supporters of Obi.
Netizens sustain criticism of Reno Omokri
Not long after his forecast, some Nigerians reacted, accusing him of mischief.
Colif Isabor commented on Twitter:
"Reno, this is outright mischief you are playing here. Tinubu has been known to forgive even his worst enemies and has been described as a bridge builder therefore it will not be out of place for him to appoint known opponents into his cabinet."
Benu Joseph said via Twitter:
"You have no idea who true OBidients are. Forget those parading themselves now. True OBidients will not jostle for appointments like others. Our aim is to continue to impact positively the polity and practice of democracy in Nigeria. Also to promote youths involvement in politics."
Enyiaku Victor wrote on his social media page:
"@renoomokri, just tell us you want to decamp to APC .. Nobody will beat you bayi."
