Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has declared his intention to take on supporters of politician Peter Obi, known as the Obidient Movement.
In an interview with News Central on Thursday, March 27, Omokri revealed that he played a role in Obi’s political journey, even proposing the name during the 2019 elections.
However, he alleged that some Obidient supporters had targeted him with attacks and blackmail, which later extended to his family. According to Omokri, his wife and son also became victims of these actions.
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.”
