2023 Presidency: Reno Omokri Reacts As Arthur Eze Ditch Peter Obi
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the comments of Nigerian billionaire, Prince Arthur Eze, on the presidential ambition of the Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi.
Naija News reports that Eze dissociated himself from Obi’s ambition while speaking at the occasion of the 2022 Ofala festival of HRH Igwe (Dr.) Robert Eze, the traditional ruler of Ukpo in Dunukofia local government area of Anambra State.
The billionaire also stated that he asked the Labour Party presidential candidate not to waste his money on the 2023 election because he would not win.
He said, “I warned Peter Obi to withdraw from this race but he would not listen. I told him plainly that I am not part of his plans. I told him to drop his ambition, and wait for next time.
“When he told me about his ambition, I asked him the states he thinks he can win in the west and in the north – he told me; but I was not convinced. I told him he cannot win; so that he would not waste his time and money.”
Eze, however, tipped Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State to become President of Igbo extraction, stating he already has a presidential candidate he is supporting for the 2023 Presidency.
Reacting to the development in a tweet on Tuesday, Omokri said more prominent Anambra people will publicly ditch Peter Obi because they know he cannot win the 2023 presidential election.
The former presidential aide added that he was not surprised that Arthur Eze distanced himself from Obi’s presidential ambition. adding that the billionaire and Anambra people know the former governor can’t win in 2023.
He, however, said the only purpose Obi serves is to help the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, by taking the votes belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Omokri wrote: “As we get closer and closer to Election Day, more and more prominent Anambra people, like Arthur Eze, will publicly ditch Peter Obi. The man knows he can’t win. His people know he can’t win. The only purpose he serves is to help Tinubu by taking PDP’s votes!”
