Political commentator and former presidential aide Reno Omokri has vowed to dismantle the Obidient movement, citing personal threats and a fallout with Peter Obi as his reasons. Speaking on Breakfast Central on Thursday, Omokri denied allegations that his opposition to Obi and his supporters is driven by personal vendetta. He instead highlighted his past role in Obi’s political ascent and explained how his disillusionment led him to adopt a firm stance. “I took a vow to destroy that movement because Peter Obi was a project of mine,” Omokri stated, recalling his efforts in shaping Obi’s national prominence. According to him, alongside Senator Ben Murray-Bruce and a former president, he played a key role in securing Obi’s position as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2019 presidential election. “I was responsible for Peter Obi becoming the running mate to Waziri Atiku Abubakar in 2019. “I’ve said this publicly. I’ve got the documents. I’m a meticulous record keeper,” he claimed. While Obi’s abrupt exit from the People’s Democratic Party without consulting his backers caused some friction, Omokri said the real turning point was the conduct of Obi’s supporters. “Peter Obi’s movement, Obidients, started attacking me, threatening me, insulting me. That was OK. “But then they moved from myself to my family. I just had a daughter at that time. There were multiple death threats,” he alleged, revealing that the harassment escalated into real-life encounters. “They came to my house in the United Kingdom. They trailed my wife and me when we were jogging. “They found out my jogging route and pursued me, threatening me,” he further alleged. Omokri stated that he contacted Obi, hoping for his intervention. However, he alleged that the former Labour Party presidential candidate declined to condemn a specific individual associated with the threats. Omokri made a firm decision, saying, “I had to deploy whatever political machinery I have to destroy that movement.”
