I vowed to destroy Obedient Movement because Peter Obi is my project – Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has disclosed why he promised to destroy the Obidient Movement of the Labour Party.

Omokri disclosed this in an interview with News Central, on Thursday, March 27, where he stated that his choice was motivated by his personal relationship with Peter Obi, whom he referred to as “his project.”

Omokri revealed that in the 2019 elections, he had first suggested Obi as a running mate to former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

But after he and his family were allegedly attacked by Obidient Movement members, his connection with the group deteriorated.

During the interview, he 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 I when we were jogging. They found out my jogging route and pursued me, threatening me.”
