Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has reacted to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi’s plan to go into a merger with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He stated this via his verified X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @renoomokri, on Monday, May 27.
As reported by The Punch, Obi during an interview on NoireTV-GlobalBlackTV, said he is not desperate to be president, I’m desperate to see Nigeria work.
“It might be at the party level, it might be at the individual level, might be at any level, but we must come together to be able to build a better Nigeria.”
Reacting to Obi’s statement, Omokri posted a previous interview when Obi said the PDP and the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) have structures of criminality and poverty.
Suggesting that the former Anambra state governor is not consistent, he wrote:
“No wonder Professor Wole Soyinka said Peter Obi is “unfit to lead”.
“You may now insult!”
APC reacts to Atiku, Obi’s purported alliance
Meanwhile, Legit reported that APC said Atiku and Obi cannot be trusted by Nigerians to tackle serious and complex challenges
The APC national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, said Atiku and Obi are united by their mutual desperation to become President of Nigeria. Morka said Pat Utomi’s mega party will offer no tangible accommodation for both Atiku and Obi and it’s a sojourn into the political wilderness
He added that the news of Obi’s return to the PDP would be hardly surprising as the former Anambra state governor has a reputation for being a political wayfarer while Atiku has a track record of being a veteran political wanderer.
