Controversial socio-political activist and author, Reno Omokri, has stated that while he respects and supports presidential candidate Peter Obi, he still prefers Atiku Abubakar for president of Nigeria.
When a follower inquired if he agreed that Peter Obi is a bigot, Reno Omokri denied it, claiming that he knows Peter Obi is honest and does not lie.
The former presidential aide said that he has known Peter Obi for a long time and feels he would make a good president, but that Atiku is and has always been his preferred candidate.
He wrote:
“Who told you I don’t support Peter Obi? Please ask him how he became HE Atiku’s vice in 2019. He is straightforward. He will not lie. I support Peter. I believe he will make an excellent President. I have always maintained that and never wavered. However, I prefer Atiku to him. I wish he stayed in our party. He would have been the VP nominee.
As per Peter being a bigot, that is very false. That was an APC propaganda used against him in 2019. Peter’s wife is not even Igbo. He married her at a time when it was almost inconceivable for an Igbo man to marry outside his ethnic group. That alone proves he is not an ethnic bigot. He even resonates with some Northern Muslims, because he is not a bigot.
My only issue with Peter is that I prefer Atiku to him. If this election was like a JAMB form, where you pick your first, second and third choice. Atiku would be my first and second choices. Peter would be my third choice!”
