Obi Rebuffs Reno, Critics, On Labour’s Poor Show In Osun

Peter Obi has dismissed taunts from Reno Omokri and other critics of his Obidient Movement on Labour Party’s poor showing in the Osun State governorship election and congratulated Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke on his victory in Saturday’s governorship poll.

Obi also saluted LP Governorship Candidate, Mr Yusuff Lasun, who came fifth in the contest for his sportsmanship, saying that the outcome of the poll was not a verdict on the fate of the LP in the forthcoming 2023 general polls.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Reno Omokri who had been a regular critic of Peter Obi and his Obidient Movement had following the announcement of the Osun State governorship poll tweeted thus:

‘We will station 15 polling agents at each polling unit’. At the end of the day you got ZERO votes in 90% of polling units. Who did your polling agents vote for? People were asking, where is LP? Social media delusion cant lead to political inclusion

Responding to the taunt, Obi in a statement while congratulating Adeleke said:

“I also congratulate the candidate of our Labour Party,  Lasun Sulaimon Yusuff and his running mate,  Adeola Adekunle Atanda, for a hard fought battle and their spirit of resolve and sportsmanship, despite the outcome.

“To our Obidient Movement  Family and our  supporters nationwide, the outcome of this particular election is not a verdict on our exponentially growing strength nationwide especially when viewed against the fact that we are barely one month old in the party and we had to contend with forces that have been entrenched in the state for the last two decades.

“However, within this very short period of only a few weeks, the Labour Party has made its presence  and political impact felt nationally. 

“We must strengthen our collective resolve and not relent in our noble march to take back our country.

“Much work remains to be done, hence we must focus the totality of our efforts now on the forthcoming 2023 General elections.

“In the fullness of time, our message of rescue and recovery will resonate throughout the length and breadth of the Nation and most Nigerian electorate will buy in into our mission  to take back Nigeria, for the purpose of rescuing it from continued decline, shift the National psyche from consumption to production and from sharing dwindling resources to creating wealth and frontally combating poverty.”

Reno Omokri, an associate of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP has regularly tormented supporters of Peter Obi known as Obidients as only existing on social media.
