Former Presidential aide and social commentator, Reno Omokri, says he is on a mission to destroy supporters of Peter Obi, popularly known as Obidients.

Speaking with News Central on Thursday, Omokri said Obi is his project, claiming that he was the one who advised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to pick Obi as running mate in the 2019 election.

Omokri said: “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.

“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.”

He said since Obi failed to caution his supporters, he decided to use whatever political machinery he has to destroy the movement.

Obidients have been bashing Omokri online over his comments, saying his mission would not be accomplished. (Daily Trust)
