Controversial social activist, Reno Omokri has claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi had no path to victory because he lacked national spread.
According to Omokri, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, who was aware of that fact, used his trusted business partners to deceive Obi into joining the presidential race.
According to him, the president-elect did that to reduce the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party, which came second in the election.
Omokri spoke further that Tinubu displayed mastery in understanding the mentality of the Obidients, who he said lacked the humility to see that they were being played.

‘And it is not yet over. In places like Kaduna, the APC is using the same strategy. They cannot win on their own. So, they are funding the Labour gubernatorial campaign, knowing that Southern Kaduna people will emotionally vote Labour and divide PDP’s votes,‘ Omokri said on his social media handles.
