Reno Omokri, a former social media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has been accused of a plot to stir northern hatred against the person of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Omokri has been hitting on Peter Obi to the annoyance of his supporters who call themselves Obidients.
Omokri, a supporter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, appears fixated on Obi because Obi may sweep a large chunk of the votes that his candidate could have gotten if Obi weren’t in the race.
A Nigerian Catholic priest serving in Malawi, Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu accused Omokri of making efforts to damage the image Obi and incite Muslim northerners against him.
Fr. Ugwu in a post on his verified Facebook page, outlined how Omokri has been trying to undermine Obi.
