Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide to Nigeria’s former president Goodluck Jonathan, has lampooned followers of Peter Obi over the inability for some of them to reason objectively.
Omokri was responding to a post he made on the social media platform, X formerly known as Twitter where a certain user Nero365 tagged him as part of the problem we have in Nigeria.
Omokri has vehemently stood by his words that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the University of Chicago from his background checks which he did to prove the authenticity of the results.
He also clarified that he is an ardent supporter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar despite his stand on Tinubu.
According to Omokri, Peter Obi lied about some of his credentials and some of his followers has failed to question him on some discrepancies but will want to label Tinubu wrongly.
See below the post he shared to react to the accusation:
Dear @Nero365,
Thank you for your feedback. A cursory look at your profile shows Peter Obi as your cover profile. Now, let me list several discrepancies in Mr. Obi’s resume.
1. He claims to have attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he supposedly graduated with a second-class lower degree in Philosophy. Yet he tendered only his WAEC certificate to INEC. Why?
2. Peter Obi claimed Peter Odili was his head boy at Christ The King College. But Peter Odili had graduated and was already in University by the time Peter Obi was admitted into Christ The King College. Peter Obi was born in 1961. Peter Odili graduated from Christ The King College in 1967. Did Peter Obi gain admission to a secondary school at age six? Please fact-check me.
3. Obi listed various schools on his resume during the election, but on his website, only two schools are mentioned: Christ The King College and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Why the lacuna?
Yet, those discrepancies do not worry you. Instead, you think I am a problem for Nigeria.
The issue with many of you Obidients is that you have absolutely no capacity for objective reasoning.
Thanks again, and may God bless you.
