Renowned author and political commentator, Reno Omokri, recently took to X app to highlight what he perceives as hypocrisy in former Anambra Governor Peter Obi’s criticism of the Lagos State Government’s demolition of illegal structures. In a series of tweets, Omokri pointed out that while serving as Anambra Governor, Peter Obi personally led a demolition exercise against illegal structures without compensation, a stark contrast to his current stance on similar actions in Lagos.
In one tweet, Omokri stated, “Just imagine the hypocrisy. Peter Obi himself physically led a demolition exercise against illegal structures while he was Governor of Anambra. He thereafter told all offenders that they would not be compensated.” He further emphasized that Arise Peoples Party, seemingly biased, defended Obi despite this apparent contradiction.

Omokri continued to draw attention to a video showing Anambra demolishing buildings on waterways last year, with Peter Obi allegedly remaining silent on the matter. The political commentator expressed astonishment that Obi is now condemning Lagos for undertaking similar demolitions aimed at preventing perennial floods caused by blocked canals, waterways, and drains.
The article explores the seeming discrepancy in Peter Obi’s position on demolitions, shedding light on the contrasting actions during his tenure as Anambra Governor and his current criticism of Lagos State’s efforts. Reno Omokri’s tweets, including links to the X app posts, provide a comprehensive overview of the commentary on this apparent shift in stance.
