Obi-Datti Movement Accuses Omokri Of Seeking Relevance With Obi’s Name

The campaign team of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, yesterday accused former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, of using Obi’s name to remain relevant on his social media.

The Obi campaign team, named Obi-Datti Movement, in a statement, said Omokri is frustrated, following his dimming image over his catastrophic choice of candidate for 2023 as well as  his struggle to convince the people to support his candidate.

The statement reads: “Within the Obidient family, we must appreciate the mountainous challenge of marketing a bad product, let alone an unelectable candidate to Nigerians who have been duped over and over again by monumental political fakes.

“Against this backdrop, the media office of the Obi-Datti pan Nigeria political movement views the recent remarks of a social busybody, Reno Omokri, on the high-flying candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as an undiluted fantasy of one who struggles with a hard sell in our multi-market setting.

“We also appreciate Mr Omokri’s frustration arising from his dimming image after his catastrophic choice of candidate for 2023 and his struggle to perform the impossible of convincing the people that rusty iron can be gold.

“We also know that Omokri belongs to the group that needs to mention Labour Party’s Peter Obi in every online commentary to remain visible on social media, where Obi is not only trending but also rules the waves.”

The Obi campaign team added that it is laughable when Omokri says that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate is using Peter Obi to undermine his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“For the umpteenth time, we advise Omokri to learn to remain in his parallel lane [our ways] to journey to 2022 to reach his final destination even if he cannot get the ultimate medal.

“With the ample time, Omokri has to market his candidate, he chooses to fantasise and drag Peter Obi into whatever he wants to say. For the sake of catching netizens’ attention.

“We want to urge all members of the Obidient family to remain focused with their eyes on the ball and refuse to be distracted. Focus on a new Nigeria; it is more realisable now than ever before,” the Obi-Datti Movement said.
