A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has slammed Peter Obi of the Labour Party over his absence at the burial of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday.
The President Bola Tinubu led a high-level federal government delegates, including the Vice President Kashim Shettima, to Buhari’s burial ceremony,
While the burial also had in attendance state governors and former public officials in Daura, Katsina State on Tuesday, Obi was noticeably missing.
Omokri took to his official X account to slam the former governor of Anambra State for not attending Buhari’s burial.
“President Bola Tinubu was in Daura from beginning to end, showing his personal devotion to General Muhammadu Buhari and his commitment to the North. Arewa, remember who was not there!,” Omokri wrote.
“On October 19, 2024, during General Gowon’s 90th birthday, Peter Obi called him “an enemy” to be forgiven. His exacts words. And today, when General Buhari, the successor to Ahmadu Bello, was being buried, Peter Obi was nowhere to be found.
“Meanwhile, last week, he said Nnamdi Kanu’s trial “makes no sense.” Again, these are his exact words. This is the same Nnamdi Kanu who says the vilest things about Arewa and lied that General Buhari died in 2017 and was replaced by a clone from Sudan named Jubril. Arewa, isn’t the handwriting on the wall clear?”
According to Omokri, Nigeria in the 2027 election needs a truly Nigerian President in Aso Rock, not a pretender, whose true allegiance lies elsewhere.
