Omokri Exposes Serious Religious Error That Cost Peter Obi Presidency
Reno Omokri, a former presidential advisor, says Christians need to change their strategy from the recently held presidential and national assembly elections.
In his view, Christians must resist the urge to approach elections in the same style and manner as they did this one.
Many voters across the nation think their votes did not count. Several state governors are accused of heavily manipulating the elections on Saturday.
But Omokri believes that approaching the election through religious lines did not help Christians, who according to him, turned out for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
According to the results read out by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, Tinubu polled a total of 8,794,726 to defeat his closest rivals and candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP who scored 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533 respectively.
He said that in the just concluded presidential election, the Christian vote was united behind Obi while the Islamic vote was divided amongst Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso.
The former Lagos State helmsman also fulfilled the 25 percent votes from 24 States as stipulated in the Electoral Act 2022 as amended.
He said, “The Islamic vote was divided 3 ways amongst Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso. The Christian vote was united behind Obi.
“Yet, look at the result! No matter the provocation, Christians must NEVER allow future elections to be about religion. It won’t serve us well!”
