Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has accused the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in 2023, of being a hypocrite.
Omokri said Obi deleted his posts about the funfair tragedy in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital after he exposed his lies.
In a series of tweets, Omokri said he provided indisputable evidence to show that Obi was a hypocrite for attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the Ibadan stampede deaths.
He stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @renoomokri on Saturday, December 21.
“After I provided indisputable evidence exposing @PeterObi as a hypocrite under whom, as Anambra Governor, 28 people died from a stampede caused by Akara on Sunday, November 3, 2013, guess what the Gbajue master did? He deleted his post attacking President Tinubu over the Ibadan stampede deaths! Go to his C profile. It is no longer there. Why? Because I exposed him. If we do not keep exposing Peter Obi’s lies, he will use them to burn Nigeria down in his desperation to be President by 2027! ”
In another tweet, he wrote:
“It happened in Ibadan, and Obi posted a terribly unsympathetic message and then deleted it. Three days later, it occurred in Okija, and Obi penned an entirely different and more sympathetic message.
“Different messages for different personages. Only Obi can turn a message into a mess!
“May Obi NEVER happen to Nigeria! ”
Peter Obi addresses tragic stampedes across Nigeria
Meanwhile, Legit reported that over 60 lives were lost in stampedes across Ibadan, Abuja, and Okija as citizens scrambled for food at events meant to provide relief.
Obi initially criticized systemic failures in a now-deleted tweet but later commended the organizers for their efforts.
He called for urgent reforms to address poverty, inequality, and food insecurity, emphasizing the need for safety at public events.
