Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has revealed that he recommended Peter Obi to former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar as a running mate.
Omokri disclosed this in an interview with Seun Okinbaloye via his podcast, Mic On.
He vowed to support Atiku if he decides to run in 2027 presidential election.
He said: “Peter Obi can’t deny that I was the one who recommended him to Waziri Atiku Abubakar when he asked me to help choose a running mate in 2019.
“I called former President Jonathan and he told me it’s Peter Obi, but I told him I just can’t submit one name. We padded the list with others while making Obi’s name look very rosy.
“Atiku chose Obi so after a man had done me just great honour, I will now turn around and be supporting his opponent in the next election?
“I can’t do that, if Atiku decide to contest in 2027 and get the PDP’s presidential candidate, I’m duty bound to support him.”
