Reno Omokri has explained why he is determined to dismantle supporters of Peter Obi, known as the Obidient Movement.
Speaking with News Central on Thursday, March 27, Omokri claimed that Obi was his “project” and that he played a key role in suggesting Obi as the running mate to PDP’s Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 election.
“I took a vow to destroy that movement because Peter Obi was a project of mine. I was responsible for Peter Obi becoming the running mate to Waziri Atiku Abubakar in 2019. I’ve said this publicly. I’ve got the documents. I’m a meticulous record keeper,” Omokri stated.
He alleged that members of the Obidient Movement harassed and threatened him, escalating from insults to death threats against his family.
“Peter Obi’s movement, Obidients, started attacking me, threatening me, insulting me. That was OK. But then they moved from myself to my family. I just had a daughter at that time. There were multiple death threats.
“They came to my house in the United Kingdom. They trailed my wife and me when we were jogging. They found out my jogging route and pursued me, threatening me.”
Omokri further claimed that Obi did nothing to address his complaints, which led him to use his political influence to “destroy that movement.”
