Peter Obi has no moral right to criticise President Tinubu — ‘Political Prostitute’ Reno Omokri

A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has stated that the Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, does not have the moral authority to criticise President Bola Tinubu’s economic reform policies.

Obi claimed that the President’s economic policies had left many Nigerians poorer, advising the President to tour the States to experience first-hand the high poverty rate across the country.

Omokri slammed Obi via a statement he shared on his X page on Friday, 3rd of January 2024

He wrote in part:

“Peter Obi Doubled Poverty In Anambra. He Has No Moral Authority To Accuse President Tinubu, Who Is Reducing It

“Mr. Obi’s recent blunder in which he urged the President to travel to the states to see the poverty level faced by Nigerians is just another pointer to the fact that the only New Year resolution Mr. Obi appears to have made is to continue being the brand ambassador for Gbajue, fake statistics, and propaganda.

“First of all, Peter Obi did not mention the Governors or local government chairmen. This is even as federal allocation to states has doubled under Tinubu, and local governments now receive allocations directly after Tinubu wins them autonomy.

“He went straight for the jugular and directly attacked the President. However, other than addressing the inflation rate, which the President has promised to do in his New Year speech, and stabilising monetary policy, which is ongoing, most of the work involved in lifting people out of poverty is at the state level.

“But Obi is fixated with President Tinubu because he wants what the President has-power and the ability to wield it well.

“And it is not a surprise that Peter Obi does not know this. Because, whereas as Governor of Lagos, poverty was reduced under Asiwaju Tinubu, it actually increased under Obi as Governor.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
