A former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno
Omokri says the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the biggest beneficiary of the Labour Party (LP)
Presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s race.
Omokri who disclosed this via his Facebook page, Wednesday
said the votes Obi will likely get are votes that would have naturally gone to
PDP.
He said the Obedient has been blinded by uncontrollable
emotion, adding that “Tinubu is a master tactician. He knows Peter Obi cannot
win. And he knows that very, very little of Peter’s votes, if any at all, will
come from him. He is aware that Peter is eating into the PDP’s votes”.
Omokri wrote ” the biggest beneficiary of Peter Obi’s
Presidential race is Tinubu, not Obidients. Peter won’t affect APC’s votes. The
votes he will likely get are votes that would have naturally gone to PDP,
including in the Southeast, some non-Yoruba Lagos votes, a chunk of Benue
votes, and a few votes in peripheral states.
“There is a lot of hysteria, which has blinded the eyes of
the core Obidients. That uncontrollable emotion makes them blind to a lot of
things. One of which is that the Yoruba have never voted for a non-Yoruba when
a Yoruba is in the race. It does not matter whether or not they like the
person.
“Another is that the Hausa and Fulani have only ever voted
for a Muslim, whether he be from the North or South. You might raise the issue
of Jonathan. I was one of the strategists behind President Jonathan’s 2011
victory and we lost in the North. What we were looking for was 25%, which we
got in 2011, but could not get in 2015. In fact, we got less than 20% in Kano,
Bauchi, and Yobe in 2011.
“Tinubu is a master tactician. He knows Peter Obi cannot
win. And he knows that very, very little of Peter’s votes, if any at all, will
come from him. He is aware that Peter is eating into the PDP’s votes. So, he
will promote Obi’s candidacy through proxies. Because that is one of his paths
to victory! All he would ask from his Southeast foot soldiers is that they
should get him 25% of the votes in at least 2 Southeastern states. And he will
get it in Imo and Ebonyi, by hook or crook.”
