“My ONLY motive in publishing this evidence is to establish that I did not lie,” he added, accusing Obi’s supporters of defamation.
Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has released an email he claims proves he played a pivotal role in selecting Peter Obi as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar during the 2019 presidential election.
In a statement shared Sunday via his verified X account, Omokri said:
“Please find attached an email sent to me by Peter Obi at 6:13 PM on Monday, October 8, 2018. Four days after this email was sent, Peter Obi was announced as Waziri Atiku Abubakar’s running mate on Friday, October 12, 2018.”
Omokri challenged Obi to deny the document, threatening to publish “more damning evidence.”
“My ONLY motive in publishing this evidence is to establish that I did not lie,” he added, accusing Obi’s supporters of defamation.
The Obidient Movement had previously denied Omokri’s claims. As of press time, neither Obi nor his allies have officially responded.
