Reno Omokri To Peter Obi: Don’t Burn Down Nigeria Because You Lost Election
A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, has asked the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, not to burn down the country because he lost the 2023 presidential election.
Omokri stated this in an interview with Channels Television on Friday.
Meanwhile, Omokri stressed the need to implement the Uwais report on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He said, “We need to implement the Uwais report on INEC, whereby the president should be stripped off the power to appoint the chairman of INEC and the commissioners.
“It’s going to go to a body that is non-partisan and objective. Also, I want to see a more rigorous ‘Buy Nigerian campaign. I’m a bit disappointed that it’s not evident in the Bola Tinubu-led administration.
“We need to push ‘Buy Nigerian’ campaign at the governmental levels too. We need to promote made in Nigeria.
“Also to tell people that if there’s a made in Nigeria alternative for the foreign goods you buy, buy the Nigerian alternative. There’s Dangote, call with Glo, drive Inmoson and fly Air Peace,” he said.
Recall that Omokri had earlier hit Obi for saying it is a national disgrace for Nigeria to receive food from war-torn Ukraine.
Obi had said earlier on Monday that it is a national disgrace for Nigeria to be receiving food from Ukraine which is embroiled in war with Russia.
Omokri, in a post on X said “It is very ignorant for Peter Obi to say that it is a “national disgrace” for Nigeria to receive food aid from Ukraine because it is a war-torn country.”
He said Obi needed to be educated about Ukraine and wheat, saying Egypt received food aid from Ukraine long before Nigeria did.

Edo To Get First Lady As Gov Okpebholo Reportedly Set To Quit Bachelorhood
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
December 24, (THEWILL) – Barring any last minute change of heart, the governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, is allegedly set to marry his side chick, a California-based lady, Jennifer, the daughter of Sharon Ogaga, who is a native of Auchi and is believed to be in her 30s.
THEWILL reports that the marriage is scheduled to be held in Potter Ranch, California, in January 2024, while Aso ebi for the event is being distributed to friends of the bride for a fee around America, Europe and Africa, the letter of invitation only identifies Jennifer, but does not mention the identity of the husband-to-be, in what appears to be a deliberate attempt to mask governor Okpebolo’s identity and shield him from the controversial move.
What is weird is that Jennifer and her family are being coy with the identity of the man she is marrying.
One of THEWILL’s sources, however, has a direct confirmation that Governor Okpebholo is the “husband-in-waiting.”
“They are only telling people that Jennifer is getting married. They are not revealing the identity of the man. It is obvious they are hiding something, probably they don’t want distractions to taint the ceremony,” one of the sources said.
THEWILL does not know the status of Okpebholo’s current marriage to Blessing Okpabi Okpebholo, the mother of his two daughters, who was a no-show during his inauguration as governor.
It, however, appears that their marriage is over because it is illegal to be married to more than one person under the laws of the United States.
According to one of our sources, Senator Adams Oshiomhole allegedly hooked Jennifer up with the governor.
The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Osiobughie Okhuemoi, said he was unaware of the development when THEWILL contacted him for comments a few days ago.
