Popular activist and social influencer, Reno Omokri has responded to the threats from the supporters of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Reno came under serious attack from the online fanbase of the former Anambra state governor for relentlessly criticizing the presidential candidate across social media platforms, an action that is not going down well with millions of Mr Obi’s supporters.
The ex aid to former president Goodluck Jonathan reacted to the threats from the Peter Obi’s supported via a recent post on his verified media handles.
It reads:
“Watch what they are doing to me. That is exactly what they will do to anyone critical of Peter Obi if he becomes President. There will be no free speech. Only mob justice. They threatened my life. Then they threatened my one year old daughter. Why? Because I criticised their god and messiah.
“What exactly did I say? I said Peter Obi was wrong to describe himself as a pilot and other Presidential candidates as “mere drivers” and “substitute players”. That is why they are threatening my life. If I was in Nigeria, they would have sent unknown gunmen after me.
“Now, imagine if Rabiu Kwankwaso had described himself as a pilot and other Presidential aspirants, and Peter Obi in particularly, as ‘mere drivers’. What will they do? I reported their threat to my life to Peter Obi directly. He did nothing.
“The threats are becoming too much. My life is at risk. If anything happens to me, my wife, my children, or my siblings, the world should hold Peter Obi responsible. He has raised a horde of intolerant and violent Obidients who just want to replace Buhari’s tyranny with theirs!
