Renowned commentator and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has taken aim at Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, for his condemnation of the ongoing demolition of illegal structures in Lagos. Omokri raised concerns about Obi’s alleged silence on similar incidents in his hometown of Onitsha, specifically referencing the burning of Chinedu and Omama a month ago. Despite condemning the burning of Deborah Samuels on May 12, 2022, Obi has not spoken out against these incidents in his hometown. CONTINUE READING
Omokri pointedly questioned Obi’s selective outrage, highlighting the politician’s failure to condemn the burning in Onitsha. He underscored the inconsistency in Obi’s stance, noting that while the former governor criticizes the demolition exercise by the Lagos State Government as ill-timed, he remained silent when the Anambra State Government demolished illegal properties earlier this year.
Furthermore, Omokri emphasized the confusion in Obi’s claim to speak for “the poor in our midst,” pointing out the disparity in his reactions to demolitions in Anambra, where the homes of the poor were affected, and Lagos, where multimillionaires’ properties face demolition. The commentator raised questions about Obi’s apparent endorsement of certain actions in Anambra while opposing similar measures in Lagos, highlighting what he perceives as double standards in the politician’s response to these situations.
