I endorsed Peter Obi for Atiku, but won’t endorse Tinubu in 2027- Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a socio-political analyst, recently revealed that he was the one who suggested Peter Obi as a running mate for former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in 2019.

Omokri mentioned that he recommended Obi in response to a direct request from Atiku himself.

During an interview with Seun Okinbaloye on his podcast, Mic On, the former presidential aide expressed his unwavering loyalty to Atiku, stating that he would not abandon him to back President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Despite his support for some of Tinubu’s economic policies, Omokri emphasized that he played a crucial role in suggesting Peter Obi to Atiku and that he would continue to stand by Atiku in future political endeavors.

Omokri firmly stated that he could not betray Atiku’s trust by supporting his opponent in the next election, reiterating his commitment to backing Atiku if he decides to run for the presidency in 2027 under the PDP banner.
