Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has revealed why ex-presidential candidate Peter Obi is called Agbotikuyo.

Agbotikuyo is a Yoruba word for someone who delights at bad news, especially those regarding death.

In a post on Facebook, Omokri revealed how Obi excitedly lambasted the President Bola Tinubu administration after telecommunications giant, MTN declared a loss in 2024.

Omokri revealed that now that MTN and other telecommunications companies are posting profits in 2025, Obi has remained silent.

He shared, "Last year, when MTN Nigeria declared a loss, Peter Obi made a post on Saturday, February 3, 2024, lambasting the Tinubu administration and accusing President Tinubu of ruining the economy. However, in 2025, MTN, Glo, and Airtel declared record profits. But Peter Obi has remained silent. He has said nothing.

"Do you now see why huge swathes of the public call him Agbotikuyo? That word means 'One who rejoices at bad news'.

"And that is who Peter Obi is. He is happy when evil occurs in Nigeria and depressed when good happens.

"Okay, President Tinubu has paid up all our debts owed to the International Monetary Fund and racked up by previous governments. Peter Obi said nothing. But when the government took a loan, he excoriated the President.

"You see? Agbotikuyo!"
