Real reason I am dragging Peter Obi

Latest entertainment gist

Ex presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has given reason for his heavy criticisms and campaigns against former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi on social media.

Omokri, in a tweet on Thursday said Obi failed to condemn his ‘Obidients’ followers when they threatened the life of his one-year-old daughter.

He said if Obi had cautioned his followers, he would not have dealt with him the way he is doing now.

Omokri said Obi kept quiet and even subtly encouraged them in their dastardly act.

Omokri wrote: “If this man had only condemned his Obidients when they threatened my one-year-old daughter’s life, I would not have dealt with him like this.

“But he kept quiet and even subtly encouraged them. You guys rightly condemn the bullying at Lead British School. What about what Obidients did to my one-year-old daughter?
