Pastor Reno Omokri, a senior assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has pledged to dance if the Supreme Court rejects the appeal filed by Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the general election scheduled for February 2023.
Omokri criticized the “Obidients” of being unstable, offensive, and lacking self-control on important matters via his Twitter account now X platform.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria and his colleagues were ridiculed and abused by the Obidients, according to him, who said they would dance if Obi’s appeal was denied.
His words:
“I have a question for Obidients. Today, the Supreme Court starts deliberations on the appeal filed by Peter Obi.
“Over the last few months, you cast aspersions on the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his colleagues. You mocked him when he was on a wheelchair, as though you won’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 notice? Now, today, 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 you tomorrow.
“Now, after months of abuse and dishonour from you, you want them to honour your appeal. Anyway, I am already practising the dance I will dance when Obi’s appeal is dismissed. It is called Obito Continua!”
