Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide and supporter of Atiku Abubakar, has criticized Peter Obi for not stepping aside in the 2023 Nigerian Presidential election.

Omokri compared Obi’s actions to Joe Biden’s recent decision to step aside, suggesting that Obi’s participation divided the opposition, ultimately leading to PDP’s loss to APC.

Omokri expressed regret over making Obi Atiku’s running mate in 2019 and accused Obi of being greedy and ambitious. He also criticized Obi’s governance in Anambra and challenged him to contest in 2027.

In a recent development, former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has voiced strong support for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye.

Raye recently gained attention after posting a TikTok video expressing her frustrations over the rising cost of living in Nigeria. In the video, she tearfully stated the increasing prices of goods and services, questioning the current administration’s efforts to address these economic challenges.

Following the video’s circulation, Raye alleged that she received threats from NYSC officials, pressuring her to remove the content and cautioning her against making political statements online.

Peter Obi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to condemn these alleged threats, stating that such actions are antithetical to the principles of democracy. He emphasized that silencing citizens reflects a corrupt and undemocratic government.

Obi also shared his personal experiences of facing intimidation and harassment for offering constructive criticism of government policies.
