Prominent author and social media influencer, Reno Omokri, has criticized Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate, for his recent statements regarding the demolitions of unauthorized structures in Lagos State.
Peter Obi expressed his concern over the demolitions, emphasizing the unfairness of such actions amid the prevailing poverty in the country. He highlighted the additional burden placed on struggling Nigerians, as these properties often represent significant investments and the sole source of livelihood for many.
Calling on the involved governments to consider the high levels of hardship in the country, Obi urged for compassion in executing such actions while adhering to necessary regulations.
In response, Omokri criticized the former Anambra Governor, citing instances where he led demolitions in Anambra state without compensating the offenders. He accused Obi of having a biased perspective, noting the inconsistency in criticizing the Lagos State government for similar actions that he had previously undertaken.
