Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has advised ex-presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to beam the spotlight on his son, instead of President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu.
This was after Obi condemned the alleged abduction of a self-acclaimed NANS President who fingered Seyi Tinubu as the mastermind.
In a statement, Omokri described Seyi Tinubu as a responsible person, adding that the same could not be said of Obi's son.
He wrote on Facebook, "Dear Peter Obi,
"Instead of spreading debunked lies about President Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu, being spread by the factional NANS President, why not put the spotlight on your own son, Oseloka? Honestly, I would have preferred not to say anything about your son, but you crossed the line by attacking Seyi Tinubu.
"Seyi Tinubu is in the same age bracket as your son, Oseloka Obi. Yet, Seyi Tinubu is married, has a known business that employs Nigerians and adds value to our country's Gross Domestic Product, and was in Nigeria throughout the campaigns, where he played the role of a dutiful son to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
"His wife, children, businesses and lifestyle are known to the Nigerian public.
"However, Peter, if you feel that you can post about Seyi Tinubu, and he is fair game for your political quips, which are meant to divert attention from your inability to respond to Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu's post exposing you, then Peter, where is your own son?
"Why was Oseloka not by your side during the campaigns? Is there something you are trying to hide? Are you ashamed of him?
"You should be answering those questions, not releasing a statement attacking a young man in the same age bracket as your son."
