Omokri, a well-known critic of the LP and Obi, expressed his concerns in a series of tweets, highlighting what he believed to be a growing trend of blind support from Obi’s followers.
The political commentator’s assertions have drawn sharp criticism from some quarters, who argue that his claims lack concrete evidence and serve only to tarnish the reputation of both Obi and Ejikeme.
“Just two months ago, many of these Obidients were defending Mmesoma Ejikeme, who fraudulently increased her JAMB scores and wanted to get the prize meant for the first place winner. Today, they are now defending the Mmesoma Ejikeme of INEC, Peter Obi, who wanted the Presidential Election Petition Court to fraudulently increase his votes so that the third place loser would be declared the first place winner. Mmesoma Ejikeme and Peter Obi are two sides of the same coin.
