Tinubu used Obi to win presidential elections - Reno Omokri opines

Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the president-elect after the 2023 presidential elections.

Omokri who has been a heavy critic of the former Lagos governor said he won the presidential election due to the exit of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

In a statement via his Instagram page, he opined that Obi's exit from the PDP played into the hands of Tinubu. He added that "Tinubu used Obi the way Clinton used Ross Perot to defeat President George H. W. Bush in 19922."

"Some will complain of rigging. Others will blame voter suppression. But the ONLY reason INEC declared Tinubu President-elect is because Atiku and Obi didn't work together. Together they had 13, 086, 053 votes," he said.

"Together, they would have won! This is what I told Peter Obi last June when we spoke. Peter Obi did not fatally injure Tinubu. Rather, he played into Tinubu's hands. The man who convinced him to leave the PDP works for Tinubu. Tinubu used Obi the way Clinton used Ross Perot to defeat President George H. W. Bush in 19922. Unfortunately, people warned him were seen as the enemy. In future, they may be seen as prophets!" he concluded.
