I Must Destroy The Obidient Movement Because They Threatened My Family – Reno Omokri

Ex-Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has come out to reveal why he is on a mission to destroy supporters of Peter Obi, known as the Obidient Movement.

He recently had his say while speaking with News Central, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he was the one who suggested Obi’s name as running mate to PDP’s Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 election, but everything went south when Obidients started threatening him and his wife for not supporting him in 2023.

Reno added that Obi himself failed to take action following his complaint, so he took matters into his own hands.

His words, “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.”

WOW.
