Reno Omokri has disclosed his reasons for targeting the supporters of Peter Obi, referred to as the Obidient Movement.
In an interview with News Central on Thursday, March 27, Omokri stated that Obi was his "project" and revealed that he was the one who proposed Obi as the running mate for PDP's Atiku Abubakar during 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.”
Reno Omokri revealed that he, along with his wife and child, was attacked by members of the Obidient Movement.
He explained that Obi failed to take action following his complaint, so he decided to use “whatever political machinery I have to destroy that movement.”
