Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan criticized Peter Obi the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate for not attending late president Muhammadu Buhari’s burial in Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.

Omokri questioned Obi’s absence in a series of posts issued on his official X handle, noting that Obi’s absence at the late Buhari’s burial showed his disposition towards the Northern region.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in Daura from beginning to end, showing his personal devotion to General Muhammadu Buhari and his commitment to the North. Arewa, remember who was not there!
