Atiku’s aide blasts Reno Omokri over attacks on Peter Obi

The Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has launched a blistering attack against former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, for his continuous attacks on Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi.

Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, in a post on his verified X account on Saturday afternoon, faulted Omokri for his “pedestrian, acerbic and unprovoked attacks” against Obi.

The post was Ibe’s response to Omokri’s earlier post on Friday, where he implicitly proclaimed a self-confessed credibility credential, which Omokri attributed to Atiku during a telephone conversation between him (Omokri) and Atiku.

The full text of Ibe’s post reads:

“Reno Omokri, you are a classic case study in psychological projection — an insecure man so desperate to escape his own failures that he accuses others of the very flaws that define him.

“Credibility and Reno Omokri in the same grammatical environment? Oh, what a mockery. That’s an oxymoron so wild it should be banned by both logic and language.

“You claim my principal has been “good” to you? Let’s not pretend. That phone call you trumpet was likely just another pit stop in your never-ending pilgrimage for personal ‘goodness.’ Your kind of goodness isn’t ethical — it’s transactional, scavenging like a hyena sniffing out its next meal.

“You also said you never attack your friends unless they strike first. Really? Then what did Peter Obi ever do to deserve your endless, pedestrian, vitriolic, and arcebic attacks? Or was his popularity simply a threat to your ego?

“You parade yourself as a pastor, but you are a pastor just like Simon the Sorcerer. Your fidelity to God, truth, and even family is non-existent. A man who has no qualms about having two wives preaching morality to others? That’s comedy dipped in hypocrisy. And now, you want a political wife in Tinubu and a side chick in Atiku? Sorry, Reno. Nigeria isn’t your polygamous playground. That riverside romance has failed — spectacularly. Ashawo kobo kobo!

“But since you seem obsessed with the idea of credibility, here’s a challenge: instead of clowning around on the imaginary Lagos-Calabar expressway, why not explain how Government College Lagos managed to award a certificate to “Bola A. Tinubu” in 1970 — two full years before the school was established?

“Better still, if you really care about truth and character, join the call for the FBI to release Tinubu’s drug records in the United States. Or has your newfound loyalty erased your former fire and fury about his criminal past?

“You speak of credibility “unlike others.” Others like who, Reno? The very people you once stood with before you betrayed them for crumbs and clout?” Ibe said.
