Peter Obi Finally Replies Omokri on Not Building Any School as Anambra Governor

TheTalk.NG journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over 9 years of experience covering politics in Nigeria.

FCT, Abuja – Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, has said building new schools when the old ones are moribund is just like building coastal lines when internal roads are impassable.

Obi’s statement was a response to Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, who promised a reward of 10,000 dollars to anyone who could show a school built by the LP chieftain.

As reported by The Nation, addressing newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, April 24, Obi stated that he provided his people with the basic things they needed during his time as governor.

He said:

“I improved the quality, physical and mental well-being of the people, schools, had the basic things they needed and the people shone like stars and that was my manifesto.

“Building new schools when the old ones are moribund is just like building coastal lines when internal roads are impassable.”

Omokri waits for response from Obi’s camp

Days after his N11 million challenge, Omokri received no response from Obi’s camp.

The media influencer challenged anyone to present a nursery or primary school that Obi started and completed during his eight-year reign as governor.

More than 48 hours after he opened the floor, Omokri said no one had come forward with such evidence.
