Reno Omokri Accuses Obi's Supporters of Threats and Harassment.
Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide and social media commentator, has accused former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of enabling threats, harassment and abuse by his supporters, popularly known as āObidients.ā
Obi on Monday asked if he had crossed the line with his New Year Message on X
He wrote: āHave I really crossed the line?
āI ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of ācrossing the lineā and has warned that I will face the consequences.
āIf I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.
āWe are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.
āMay God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children. -POā
However, Omokri in his reply, expressed outrage over what he described as a lack of accountability from Peter Obi on the behaviour of his supporters.
He alleged that the so-called āObidientsā have consistently engaged in threatening and abusive actions towards individuals who do not align with their political ideology.
He wrote: āI am rather surprised that you are now talking about dear threats. So, you know it is wrong to act in such a manner? When your Obidients were threatening the life of my one-year-old daughter, what did you do? I brought it to your attention. You did nothing.
āEvery single day, I receive over ten death threats from Obidients. Have you called them out? Obidients came to my house in England, tracked me to my jogging route and released my U.S. address. What did you, Peter Obi, do about that?
āProfessor Wole Soyinka, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor Poju Oyemade, Sam Omatseye, and a host of others have been threatened, insulted, abused and maligned by the vicious mob you trained and unleashed on Nigeria.
āAnd after gathering a horde of uncouth, mannerless, and aggressive rudapests, you are now acting the victim? Claiming that Nigeria is becoming an āauthoritarian and repressive regimeā?
āWas it not your Obidients that threatened to burn down Felaās shrine because Femi Kuti did not support you?
āWhen your running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, said that swearing in Bola Tinubu as President would mark the end of democracy in Nigeria, what did you do?
āIf you are looking for authoritarianism, Peter, buy a mirror and look at it.
