Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, has accused Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), of showing allegiance to the Biafra flag.

Omokri’s Allegations Against Peter Obi

On Sunday, Omokri claimed that Peter Obi’s recent call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), indicates his allegiance to the Biafra flag. Omokri stated that Obi’s actions effectively mark the end of his presidential ambitions.

“By calling for the release of a man who publicly urged his supporters to attack Nigerian military and paramilitary forces, and has neither apologized nor repented for that order, Peter Obi has shown his allegiance to the Biafra flag,” Omokri wrote on his X page.

Obi’s Call for Release of Detainees

Peter Obi recently urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to release Nnamdi Kanu, EndSARS protesters, and other freedom fighters. Speaking to journalists in Anambra State, Obi emphasized that protesters and freedom fighters have the right to express their grievances through peaceful protests.

Omokri’s Response on Social Media

Omokri posted an image of Obi alongside the Biafra flag on his social media, declaring that Obi’s call for Kanu’s release signifies the end of his political aspirations. “The ‘Release Nnamdi Kanu Now’ statement by Peter Obi is the obituary of Peter Obi’s presidential ambition,” Omokri asserted.

He further stated, “By aligning himself with someone who incited violence against Nigerian forces, Obi has revealed his true allegiance.”

Omokri’s Stance on Intimidation

Omokri made it clear that he would not be intimidated by any group or individual attempting to silence him. “Anybody or group that thinks they can intimidate me from expressing my beliefs does not know me. My body does not secrete the fear hormone,” he declared.
