Socio-political activist and former presidential aide Reno Omokri has alleged that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, does not believe in the party’s manifestos.
Omokri claimed that Obi was more attuned to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Posting on X, Omokri wrote: “I will support President Tinubu’s policies that were also in the Peoples Democratic Party manifesto. I will do so proudly and patriotically.
Even Peter Obi was put on the 2019 PDP ticket by the grace of God using my efforts. And he cannot deny it because I am a meticulous record-keeper and [I] kept paper records. Peter Obi does not even believe in the official Labour Party manifesto. He is more politically attuned to us in the PDP.
During the elections, politicians and their strategists will attack each other. It is all part of the way politics is played. After elections, we move from battleground to common ground.
There are no permanent friends or enemies in politics. But with death threats to my child and with their leader keeping quiet when it was brought to his attention, there is permanent enmity.
Peter Obi will NEVER be President of Nigeria, and we will fight to ensure that even if he returns to the PDP, he will NEVER get on our ticket. But beyond that, we are moving on with one Nigeria.”
