Reno Omokri claims he helped Atiku Abubakar choose Peter Obi as his running mate during the 2019 elections. The former presidential aide worked with Senator Ben Murray-Bruce to make this happen. Omokri says he packaged Obi for the vice presidential spot. He admits he does not really like the former Anambra State governor. Omokri threatens to embarrass Obi publicly if he tries to deny these claims.
The political consultant explains that Goodluck Jonathan told him to support Obi for the position. Omokri says he follows orders from the former president because he stays loyal to him. Atiku asked Omokri to find someone good for vice president. Omokri immediately called Jonathan for advice about who should take the job. Jonathan suggested Peter Obi right away even though Omokri had reservations.
Omokri reveals that Obi sent his resume without being asked. The former governor kept calling to check if Omokri had looked at his paperwork. Obi would ask Omokri to refresh his email and review the documents he sent. These phone calls happened repeatedly as Obi pushed for consideration. Omokri found this behavior annoying but continued helping because Jonathan wanted him to support Obi for the ticket.
