Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has opened up on the reason he vowed to destroy supporters of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, popularly called ''Obidient Movement''.
He alleged that the supporters trailed him while he was jogging in the UK and threatened him.
He also stated that they have been insulting and threatening him on social media.
Speaking with News Central on Thursday, March 27, Omokri, claimed Obi was his "project" and he was the one who suggested Obi’s name as running mate to PDP's Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 election.
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.”
Omokri disclosed that members of the Obidient Movement attacked him, his wife and his child.
He explained that Obi failed to take action following his complaint, so he decided to use “whatever political machinery I have to destroy that movement.”
