Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan, has predicted a loss for Peter Obi at the Supreme Court.

Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, filed 51 grounds of appeal before the apex court to invalidate the election of President Bola Tinubu. The development was reported in the media on Tuesday, September 19.

Omokri speaks after Obi filed appeal

The LP candidate, in his appeal, maintained that the Presidential Election Petition Court erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential poll that was held on February 25.

Reacting, Omokri, who is one of the strongest critics of Obi wrote on his verified X handle:

“I congratulate Peter Obi for filing his appeal at the Supreme Court, and I assure him that the same fate awaits him at the apex court.

“Meanwhile, we vividly remember how his Obidients insulted the Chief Justice of Nigeria when he was in a wheelchair before boarding a flight to London. As if they won't also grow old.”
