Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has warned the North against backing the ex-Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi to clinch the opposition coalition’s ticket.
Omokri alleged that Obi will not keep his promises to
Northerners if they back him to become the coalition’s flag bearer and eventual
winner in 2027.
He was reacting to Obi’s remark that he would agree to be
president for one term and handover to the North.
Obi, however, noted that there was no agreement for a joint
ticket with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Reacting, Omokri warned that the North should expect the
fate that befell Hausa Fulani’s in Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned as
president in 1982 if the region backs Obi.
Posting on X, he wrote: “If Arewa makes the mistake of
backing the coalition and giving their Presidential ticket to Peter Obi,
exactly what happened to Northern Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned on
November 4, 1982, is what will happen to Northern Nigeria. Go back and study
history.
“The Hausa and Fulani are the most marginalised ethnicities
in Cameroon, and Paul Biya kept none of the promises he made to Ahidjo.
“Who killed Ahmed Gulak in Owerri in May of 2021?
“Today, millions of innocent Nigerian citizens will be
forced to observe the infamous Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. Has this
same Peter Obi ever condemned IPOB or their sit-at-home?
“Mutanen Arewa may recall that in the most Islamic state of
Nigeria, the seat of the Caliphate, Peter Obi named Ifeanyi Ezeagu as the state
coordinator of his campaign for Sokoto. He also named John Ezeigbe the
coordinator for Lagos state.
“And this is the man telling you to give him power, and he
will do only one term?
“A man who could not keep a promise to Ojukwu will now stay
true to his pledge to Arewa?
“Believe that, and prepare for the Cameroon treatment.”
Omokri, however, assured the North that they have a friend
in a Southerner, President Bola Tinubu.
He insisted that Tinubu showed loyalty by standing with
former President Bola Tinubu to emerge as president.
