'Reno is now a believer' - Obidients clap for Omokri after he thanked Peter Obi, LP over election of Kaduna Okada rider into NASS

The election of an okada rider, Donatus Mathew as the representative of the Kaura Federal constituency of Southern Kaduna on the ticket of the Labour Party is one of the main talking points of the election.

Mathew, a Kaduna native was declared the winner of the election after garnering 10,466 votes to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC which scored 9,828 votes.

His victory generated several reactions on social media.

One of those is Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the PDP who applauded Peter Obi and the Labour Party for achieving this feat.

He described the emergence of Mathew as true democracy.

Recall that the Labour Party candidate was declared the winner of the election after garnering 10,466 votes to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC which scored 9,828 votes.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Omokri expressed optimism that the emergence of the LP candidate as the winner of the poll would attract more supporters to the party in the north.

He wrote, “Under Labour Party, an Okada rider, Donatus Mathew, won election to the House of Representatives in Kaduna. This is democracy in its purest form. And for this, I thank Peter Obi and the Labour Party.

“Both of them have done much to deepen our democracy. I never envisaged that this could happen in Nigeria in the year 2923. In the future, perhaps I imagined it happening. But not now.

“If Labour continues this way, they will make Nigeria a more egalitarian society.

“This news will make Labour more acceptable in Kano, the centre of Northern egalitarianism, which is the utopian ideal that the late Aminu Kanu tried to build with the Talakawa through the Northern Elements Progressive Union, and later his Peoples Redemption Party”.

Obidients react

nobleeyisi: 100% This is an incredible story. That the son of a ‘nobody’ can become ‘somebody’ is an inspiration to everyone of us. If he can do it, then we can.

Peter Obi has done what no man has done in Nigeria’s socio-political history. He’s broken the twin dominance of PDP and APC and has brought in a credible third force into our polity. I only hope that LP capitalises on these gains and delivers for the people.
