God used Obi's supporters to elevate me– Reno Omokri

Former presidential adviser Reno Omokri has pleaded with Peter Obi's Obidients, or followers of the Labour Party presidential candidate, to comprehend his brand of politics.

The call was made by Omokri, a fervent supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the main opposition People's Democratic Party, in a post on his social media accounts on Tuesday.

The sociopolitical activist who claimed the Obidients had assisted him in achieving some success praised "their dedication to anything they believe in" as one of his favourite qualities.

He insisted that he has never believed in switching parties and said that the PDP is the reason for his support of Atiku Abubakar.

He wrote, “I am very grateful to Obidients, because God used them to elevate me. One thing I love about them is their dedication to whatever they believe in.

"I really wish they could understand me. In the 23 year period of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, I have only been associated with one political party-the Peoples Democratic Party.

“Jumping from party to party is not in my DNA. and party politics is not like trading. I can’t just mind my own store, like in a market.

“It is necessary for me to promote the party I believe in and denounce the ones I do not believe in. That is how party politics are played all over the world. Let us not take it personally. There is life after the 2023 election”.
