Peter Obi desperate to be Nigeria’s president – Reno Omokri

Published

on

Ambassador-designate and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has accused Peter Obi, a leading figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), of being desperate to become Nigeria’s president “at all costs.”

Omokri alleged that Obi has been capitalising on recent fire incidents across different parts of the country to criticise the Federal Government, while allegedly failing to acknowledge similar tragedies in the South-East.

Writing on X, Omokri claimed that Obi often draws attention to fire outbreaks outside the Igbo-speaking region but remains noticeably quiet when comparable incidents occur within his home area.

He pointed to two separate fire disasters in Anambra State, one at Trano Rentals Hotel in Isuaniocha, Awka North, on January 1, and another during a Christmas carnival in Umuchu, Aguata Local Government Area, on December 30, 2025, which reportedly resulted in multiple deaths.

According to Omokri, Obi did not publicly react to either incident.

In contrast, he said Obi openly commented on fire outbreaks in Lagos, Kano, Niger, Plateau, Katsina, Zamfara, and Sokoto, a trend Omokri described as selective and politically driven.

Omokri further accused Obi of promoting ethnic and regional divisions in his commentary, arguing that many of the fire incidents were caused by environmental conditions rather than failures of governance.

He described Obi as a “tribal irredentist,” alleging that Obi’s quest for political power has diminished his ability to express sincere sympathy without attaching blame.

In his remarks, Omokri said Obi’s reference to a perceived “increase” in fire incidents amounted to an attempt to score political points, adding that instead of offering compassion to victims, Obi chose to direct blame at the government for incidents he claimed were largely influenced by environmental factors.

He wrote: “Peter Obi blaming “surge” of fire incidents on the government is a sad display of your tribalism, sectionalism, desperation and ignorance.

“But because of your desperation to be President at all costs, including the de-marketing of Nigeria, you chose to blame the government for what the environment is responsible for.”

Impeachment: I’m not prophet but only fasting, prayers will save Gov Fubara. Tinubu hates ingrates- Fayose

Published

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has said he is not a prophet, but only fasting and prayers will save the Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers state from the impeachment process initiated against him by the members of the State House of Assembly who are loyal to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Fayose disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television on Friday, January 9.

While speaking on the feud between Wike and Fubara, Fayose said faulted Governor Fubara for appointing people into his cabinet and spending state funds without recourse and approval of the State Assembly.

“I’m not a prophet, but what is happening in Rivers now, it will take fasting and prayers to save Fubara; it takes the President intervening.

How can he be appointing people in his cabinet and spending money without constitutional backing and approval of the State Assembly?

People are talking about Wike; remove Wike. Can you remove who or what he is? Can’t you see people popping out during his rallies?”Fayose asked

According to Fayose, he had years ago warned Governor Fubara on his inauguration day against betraying Wike.

“During his inauguration, I told Wike that I wanted to tell Fubara one or two things against betraying him, but Wike said I shouldn’t worry, that Fubara will not do it, I told Fubara not to fight that man that he will fight and not stop fighting.”he said

The former Ekiti governor said even President Bola Tinubu hates ingratitude, stating that if not by the grace of God, those whom the President has helped could have abandoned him, giving an instance that if the President did not make Wike FCT Minister, the Minister could have been buried politically.
