I recommended Peter Obi to Atiku, can’t support Tinubu in 2027 – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a socio-political analyst, revealed that he suggested Peter Obi as a running mate for Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in 2019.

Omokri claimed that in response to Atiku’s request, he suggested Obi be named running mate.

Speaking in an interview with Seun Okinbaloye on his podcast, Mic On, the former presidential adviser shared his thoughts.

In the 2027 presidential contest, he promised never to defect from Atiku in favour of President Bola Tinubu.

Omokri has backed a few of Tinubu’s initiatives for the economic recovery.

However, he said: “Peter Obi can’t deny that I was the one who recommended him to Waziri Atiku Abubakar when he asked me to help choose a running mate in 2019.

“I called former President Jonathan and he told me it’s Peter Obi, but I told him I just can’t submit one name. We padded the list with others while making Obi’s name look very rosy.

“Atiku chose Obi so after a man had done me just great honour, I will now turn around and be supporting his opponent in the next election?

“I can’t do that, if Atiku decide to contest in 2027 and get the PDP’s presidential candidate, I’m duty bound to support him.”
