Former presidential adviser to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, have criticised Peter Obi of the Labour Party for missing Tuesday’s funeral for late President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State.
Taking to his X account, Reno Omokri took a swipe at Peter Obi once again.
This comes as former President Buhari was buried statewide on Tuesday, attended by former Vice Presidents Atiku Abubakar and Yemi Osinbajo, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and other high-ranking officials.
Peter Obi was visibly absent from former president Buhari’s funeral on Tuesday causing Reno Omokri responded to question Obi’s absence.
He claimed that Peter Obi’s lack of attendance at the late Buhari’s funeral demonstrated his true attitude towards the northern region.
He also charged Peter Obi with being a pretender.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in Daura from beginning to end, showing his personal devotion to General Muhammadu Buhari and his commitment to the North. Arewa, remember who was not there!
“On October 19, 2024, during General Gowon’s 90th birthday, Peter Obi called him ‘an enemy’ to be forgiven.” His exact words. And today, when General Buhari, the successor to Ahmadu Bello, was being buried, Peter Obi was nowhere to be found.
“Meanwhile, last week, he said Nnamdi Kanu’s trial ‘makes no sense.’” Again, these are his exact words. This is the same Nnamdi Kanu who says the vilest things about Arewa and lied that General Buhari died in 2017 and was replaced by a clone from Sudan named Jubril.
“Arewa, isn’t the handwriting on the wall clear?
“In 2027, Nigeria needs a truly Nigerian president in Aso Rock, not a pretender whose true allegiance lies elsewhere,” he wrote on his X.
Similarly, a Northern youth actvist known as Sarki also expressed his displeasure at Obi’s absence at the funeral.
He said “Peter Obi didn’t attend President Muhammadu Buhari’s burial. This is the same man who expects northerners to hand over Nigeria to him.
“Let’s see how he plans to become president without our votes,” he wrote.
