RENO OMOKRI'S “EVIDENCE” FAILS TO PROVE HE MADE PETER OBI VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
Recently,Reno Omokri claimed he was instrumental in Peter Obi’s selection as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in 2019,and offered an email screenshot as “proof” of this claim.But a closer look at the content shows that Reno’s supposed evidence is weak and irrelevant.
First,the email,dated October 8, 2018,is from a third party who wrote to Reno thanking him for support to [name redacted] and for building a better Nigeria.It then goes on to say “I have been directed by our Oga to send my resume.”That is the entire substance of the message.
There is no mention whatsoever of any recommendation of Peter Obi,any strategic discussion about vice presidential candidates,any personal involvement by Reno in influencing Atiku’s selection,any mention of Atiku or PDP decision-making,any evidence that Reno even forwarded the email to Atiku or was part of the selection process
In essence,the email only shows that someone who called Reno “dear brother” was sending a résumé likely for a political appointment and acknowledging his general support for an unnamed candidate.It is a routine political networking letter,not a confidential kingmaker memo.
If Reno Omokri had truly played a decisive role in nominating Peter Obi,you would expect to see a direct communications between Reno and Atiku,strategy memos,phone call records,minutes of meetings referencing his advice.
At the very least,a message explicitly discussing Obi’s nomination
Instead,what he posted proves nothing beyond the fact that he was part of the PDP orbit,as many were at the time.It is a big leap from “someone sent me their résumé” to “I made Peter Obi the VP candidate.” The evidence simply does not hold up.
Political history deserves more serious documentation than a single résumé email.Nigerians are entitled to transparency and facts,not half-baked bragging right.
