Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has criticized ex-Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi for his silence on the recent conviction of self-proclaimed Biafra Prime Minister Simon Ekpa by a Finnish court.
Omokri publicly challenged Obi to comment on Ekpa’s conviction, questioning his silence.
In a post on X, Omokri also condemned Obi for swiftly reacting to a separate incident involving Fuji musician K1 De Ultimate and ValueJet, while remaining silent on a matter he considers far more significant.
Omokiri wrote: “If Peter Obi is bold enough to talk about Simon Ekpa’s conviction today (not tomorrow), the way he QUICKLY spoke about the incident involving K1 De Ultimate, AKA King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, whose arrests and prosecution he called for, I will give everything I am wearing here to one random follower. Tick tock. The clock is ticking.”
On Monday, a Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland sentenced Ekpa to six years’ imprisonment for terrorism offences.
Finnish authorities had, on November 21, 2024, arrested Ekpa following an investigation by its National Bureau of Investigation into allegations of inciting terrorism and promoting violence through social media, activity believed to have contributed to unrest in southeastern Nigeria.
Prior to his arrest and sentence, Ekpa was linked to terrorist activities in southeast Nigeria.
