Reno Omokri, an ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has promised to dance if the Supreme Court dismisses the appeal filed by Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the polls.
In a statement on his verified X handle on Monday, Omokri accused the ‘Obidients’ of being unstable, disrespectful, and lacking self-control on crucial matters.
Omokri stated that the Obidients humiliated and insulted the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his colleagues, and that if Obi’s appeal is dismissed, he is ready to dance.
He said, “I have a question for Obidients. Today, the Supreme Court started deliberations on the appeal filed by Peter Obi.
“Over the last few months, you have cast aspersions on the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his colleagues. You mocked him when he was in a wheelchair, as though you wouldn’t also grow old.
“You made insulting caricatures of the justices of the Supreme Court and have promoted all types of disrespectful narratives and rhetoric against them. You turned a section of the public against them with false conspiracy theories about them receiving bribes.
“Don’t you think they have children, friends, and family who would have brought all that your movement did to their attention? Now, you guys are appealing to the same people you were disparaging.
“Learn self-control. Be strategic, not erratic. Think before you act. Know that those you insult today may be the same people you will consult tomorrow. And the people you condemn today may be the ones you need to commend tomorrow.
“Now, after months of abuse and dishonour from you, you want them to honour your appeal.
Anyway, I am already practicing the dance I will dance when Obi’s appeal is dismissed. It is called Obito Continua!”
