Reno Omokri hails Obidents over today's rally, calls them great achievers - Gist Cent

Reno Omokri has taken to his official Facebook page and hailed Peter Obi's supporters, known as Obidents, for organizing a great rally today in Lagos.

Sharing the post, the Nigerian politician who is currently supporting PDP presidential candidate, Atiku, stated that Obidents are great achievers and anyone who tries to belittle them is not politically astute.

"The simultaneous Obidient rallies at Festac, Amuwo, Lekki, Kaduna, and other towns and cities across Nigeria, was AMAZING. They are a great achievement, and anyone who tries to belittle them is not politically astute."

"It is not just the sheer number of attendees. Imagine the logistics behind organising people at different ends of the nation. Commendable. Very commendable. While Obi will not win in 2023, he has successfully disrupted politics in Nigeria. Take Kaduna state."

On August 15, 2022, Nasir El-Rufai boasted that Obi won’t get “two hundred persons on the street.” Today, we saw close to 2000. Yes, a lot of them are persons of Southeastern origins. But for one man’s ambition to mobilise them in such mesmerising numbers is something to be admired."

"Politics without bitterness should be encouraged. Well done Obi. Well done Obidients! Just a little piece of advice: Tone down the insults and aggressiveness, then the number of people of non Southeastern origin in your movement will increase. Remember your goal. You are preparing for an election, not an insurrection."

Recall that Reno Omokri is known as one of the opposition party members who always criticizes Peter Obi and his supporters. It's surprising to see him hail them over today's rally in Lagos and other major states.
