Social commentator Reno Omokri has accused former presidential candidate Peter Obi of excusing himself while accusing others.
Omokri said this in a long post on his official X account.
He mentioned that while President Tinubu has been criticised by Peter Obi for his foreign travels, the trips have yielded an increase in foreign investments.
He wrote, “Mr. Obi talked about the President’s foreign travels. But they are to bring investments to Nigeria, and it is working. FDI has increased by 28% under Tinubu. Because of President Tinubu’s official visit to Brazil, the biggest livestock company on Earth, JBS SA, has already begun investing $2.5 billion in Nigeria.
“Coca-Cola announced in September 2024 that, having foreseen “significant social and economic advancements” in Nigeria under Tinubu, it will invest $1 billion in Nigeria over the next five years. And there are many others.
“Plus, Tinubu’s son, Seyi, is here investing in Nigeria for Nigerians. Where is Peter Obi’s son, Peter Oseloka Obi? And what is he doing, and who is he ‘investing’ in in London?
“President Tinubu is proud of his son, Seyi’s lifestyle of employing thousands of Nigerians through his businesses. Seyi Tinubu is an Omoluabi who adds value to his father’s government and Nigeria. Seyi Tinubu is visible. He is one of us. He mixes with the masses.
“But can the same be said about Peter Obi’s son? Charity begins at home. If Seyi Tinubu is fair game, then let us see Oseloka Obi. Is Obi ashamed of his son’s lifestyle? Would he be willing to throw the spotlight on Oseloka the way he and his Obidients have rudely thrown it on Seyi?
“Why the scrutiny on Seyi Tinubu and the secrecy on Oseloka Obi?
“Asking Tinubu to have his medical in Nigeria is all well and good, especially as Tinubu conceived, initiated, started, completed, and commissioned seven hospitals while he was Lagos Governor. My question to Mr. Peter Obi is this: How many hospitals did he conceive, initiate, start, complete, and commission in the eight years he was Anambra Governor?
“Talk is cheap. It is one thing to accuse others. It is another thing to excuse yourself.”
