The current “world tour” by the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi according to former presidential adviser Reno Omokri, is the result of political naivety.
In order to connect with his supporters, the former governor of Anambra has traveled to the US and Europe.
Throughout the trip, he has spoken at and attended a number of town hall meetings.
Obi was reminded that Nigerians living abroad “cannot vote” by Omokri, who questioned the advantages of Obi’s travels abroad.
The former presidential assistant described Atiku and Tinubu as knowledgeable candidates and asked Obi to learn from them given that they have been busy traveling to different Nigerian states and meeting with the people while canvassing for votes.
He further warned the ‘Obidients’ not to cry wolf when their candidate eventually loses out in the 2023 elections as a result of his ignorance politically.
Omokri wrote:
“What has been the benefit of Peter Obi going round foreign countries? It only shows political naivety. Sadly, diaspora Nigerians can’t vote.
“Wise candidates are in Nigeria consulting Nigerians who can vote. It is only when they win that they do an international tour!
“Atiku is busy going from state to state meeting Nigerians and their leaders. Emilokan is doing the same.
“Meanwhile, Peter Obi is going from foreign country to foreign country campaigning to people who CAN’T vote. When he invariably loses in 2023, Obidients will shout rigging. Oya, insult me! #TableShaker.”
