UTME Fraud: '12 similarities between Peter Obi and Mmesoma Ejikeme' - PDP Chieftain reveals

Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has related the recent revelation by Mmesoma Ejikeme, the candidate of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), who inflated her result from 249 to 362 with Peter Obi.

Peter Obi was the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 presidential election and came third during the poll but is currently in court to challenge the outcome of the election.

But Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student of the Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi in Anambra state, became popular when she claimed she scored 362 in the 2023 UTME.

However, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) insisted that Mmesoma Ejikeme manipulated her result to deceive and exploit the public. Mmesoma Ejikeme eventually confessed to the crime before the investigative panel set up by the Anambra State Government.

Reacting to the confession, the PDP chieftain, Omokri, in a Twitter post, said Mmesoma Ejikeme and Peter Obi have 12 things in common.

He explained them below:

Obi voted in Anambra. Mmesoma wrote JAMB in Anambra. Obi won Lagos. Mmesoma's 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of schools are in Lagos.

Obi insisted he won #NigerianElections2023. Mmesoma insisted she had the highest JAMB score.

Obi claimed to be a youth at 62. Mmesoma claimed to be a minor at 19.

Obi blamed INEC glitch. Mmesoma blamed JAMB hitch.

Obi did a broadcast vowing to reclaim his mandate. Mmesoma did a broadcast promising that her results were genuine.

Mmesoma's daddy said she was always crying over JAMB. Obi cried 'Yes, Daddy' over the election.

Obi won 98% of Anambra's votes. The majority of Anambra supported Mmesoma.

Obi went on TV to cry. Mmesoma cried on TV.

Obi's followers insulted everybody. Mmesoma's supporters attacked everyone.

Obi lied that his brewery employs 60% of Anambra people. Mmesoma lied that she was the best pupil in Anambra.

Omokri concluded that: "Moral of the story: Those who play emotional politics will always end in frustration, while those who play strategic politics will always end in dominion."
