A few days ago, he was in Minna, Niger State where he met with ex-Military ruler, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. He followed that up with a similar meeting to ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan.
He has also been vocal in his opposition of government policies which he believes are anti-people. His latest press conference on the state of the nation held on Thursday, January 2, 2025 is still generating a buzz.
His efforts have not gone unnoticed as Omokri, a renowned critic of Obi in a statement on Friday, January 3, 2025 revealed that he now admires how Obi has trudged on despite the obstacles he faces.
He urged the ex-Anambra gov to be less Igbo-centric, appeal to his Obidients movement to use persuasive rather than abusive words and admit, then apologise for his ‘Yes Daddy” religious war’ comment against the Muslim Ummah.

“If only he could be less Igbo-centric, appeal to his Obidients to use persuasive rather than abusive words and admit, then apologise for his ‘Yes Daddy” religious war’ comment against the Muslim Ummah, he would go far” Omokri wrote.
He further revealed that Obi is currently the number one opposition figure in the country.
Omokri, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who had worked for the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar in previous presidential elections, declared that any other politician parading himself as a bigger opposition figure in the country is suffering delusion.
According to Omokri, “Peter Obi is currently the Number One opposition figure in Nigeria. Bar none.
“Anybody in any opposition party who thinks that he is bigger than Obi right now is just deluded”, Okokri who is an avid critic of Obi stated in his post.
He insisted that “some people in one or two opposition parties have already been retired by Obi, but they just don’t know it yet because their money is keeping them on political life support.
