Omokri accuses Peter Obi of aligning with corrupt figures

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has criticized Peter Obi's 2023 presidential campaign, alleging he now associates with individuals he previously distanced himself from. Omokri questioned Obi's anti-corruption consistency, noting his campaign rhetoric about 'structures of criminality' while aligning with alleged looters and corrupt barons. He referenced Obi's past appeal to religious groups to 'take back Nigeria,' contrasting it with current associations. Omokri specifically mentioned Nigeria's former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, citing ₦212 billion in assets seized as corruption proceeds. He drew parallels between Obi's campaign and Nigeria's past under General Sani Abacha, suggesting Obi 'learnt a lot' under Abacha's regime. Omokri concluded by comparing Obi to a notorious armed robber, implying he would now associate with such figures.
