A one-time presidential aide under the People’s Democratic Party, Reno Omokri claims that the supporters of the Labour Party are too gullible to see the kind of force the President-elect is in the Nigeria political space.
On Thursday, social media critic Reno Omokri via his verified Twitter handle made it known to supporters of Peter Gregory Obi dubbed “Obidients” that they are too myopic and politically immature to understand their political opposition. He went further to claim that they are so much political activity and very little political productivity in their camp. CONTINUE READING

Omokri also debunked reports of him joining the ruling party.
In his words, he said;
“Sadly, many Nigerians, especially those who self-identify as Obidients, are not politically mature or savvy. So to them, politics is a zero-sum game. It is not a non-lethal means to an end. So they give no thought to understanding their political opposition. Others must understand them because they are correct, and they mustn’t understand others because anyone not with them is wrong.”
“So when they see a figure like myself, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, analysing both the good, bad and ugly, about someone like Bola Tinubu, to them, it can only mean one ththing that want to join the All Progressives Congress. Such myopic thinking is why they have so much political activity and very little political productivity. They rely on sheer effort without a strategy.”
“Whether we like it or not, Bola Tihubu is a force to be reckoned with. And if we must defeat him, we can only do so by understanding his strengths, weaknesses, and the threat he poses to us as opposition parties. Yes, he is, in many ways, a nasty piece of work. And I have said before that I would not urinate on him if he were on fire.”
“But that does not blind me to the fact that he is a highly effective political strategist. And without also strategising, we in the opposition will constantly be reacting to him and playing catch up. When World War II era American General, George S Patton, faced off against Germany’s General Erwin Rommel in North Africa, he spent a week studying Infanterie greift (Infantry Attacks), the book Rommel had written on tank warfare. And after defeating him, he credited that singular act for his victory.”
“By now, every opposition party worth its salt ought to have a dossier on Tinubu. Because believe it or not, he has one on the significant leaders of your own parties. That is why we must analyse him, because, after Olusegun Obasanjo, he is the most effective political strategist alive today in Nigeria. But whereas former President Obasanjo is a benevolent force, Mr Tinubu can only be described as malevolent.”
“We need to know the truth about Bola Tinubu, and it is that truth that will set us free. And the truth is that whether as a drug cartel leader, an opposition party enforcer, or a national leader of the ruling party, the man knows how to assert his will on his environment. We must understand why, so we can formulate how to clip his wings.”
“If all we do is insult and abuse him, we will be playing right into his hands because, as he has said, ‘I don’t read social media o. They abuse the hell out of me.’ As opposition parties, we must understand that Tinubu is a master at identifying cleavages in society and exploiting them. We must thus deprive him of that by caucusing so there are no cracks for him to leverage on. We cannot afford to be emotional. This is the time for realpolitik.”
