Omokri Lauds Peter Obi, Says He “Has Enriched And Deepened Our Democracy”

By Adesina Soyooye

Reno Omokri, a very bitter, constant critic of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 General Elections, has  admitted that Obi has provided invaluable opposition to Nigeria. He also admitted that Obi has enriched and deepened Nigeria’s democracy.

Omokri was reacting to Obi’s post where he, Obi, announced the suspension of all his official and public engagements so as to pay attention to his health. Obi said he began to feel unwell while he was in Enugu on Friday during an engagement. He quickly went to a hospital where the doctor advised him to take a rest.

Obi: “Earlier in Enugu, I was not feeling well. I visited the hospital where the doctor gave me some medication and advised me to take a day or two days rest.

“In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements within and outside the country this weekend.”

Reacting to Obi’s post, Omokri prayed God to give the former two-term Governor of Anambra State good health to enable him continue the services he is rendering to the nation.

He wrote: “I read with sadness Peter Obi’s post about his ill- health. My thoughts are with him. While nobody is perfect, Mr Obi has nevertheless provided invaluable political opposition to Nigeria. He has enriched and deepened our democracy and his existence on our political landscape has some positive effect on the polity.

“It is for this and our shared humanity that I wish him a quick recovery.

“It is certainly reassuring to read that he has consulted a medical professional and has been well advised on a path of recovery. May God preserve Peter Obi’s life, and keep him in good health so that he can continue rendering service to our nation.”
