Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has condemned the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo for reporting the Governor of Anambra state, Charles Soludo to some deities over his recent submission on Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Naija News recalls that the Ndigbo group on Tuesday announced that Soludo would be punished for his verbal attacks on the LP flag bearer.

Ohanaeze described Soludo’s action as ridiculous, unreasonable and premature, adding that he has been dragged to two powerful deities including Chokoleze in Mbaise and Ubiniukpabi in Arochuku.

Reacting, Omokri opined that Ohanaeze’s move signalled tribalism.

He wrote, “Why would Ohana’eze Ndi’Igbo threaten to curse Governor Charles Soludo for criticising Peter Obi? Does it mean Obi is now officially an Igbo candidate? That is saying a lot to the rest of Nigeria.

“Many Yorubas, including serving and former Governors, criticise Tinubu! Afenifere has never threatened to curse them! Many Northerners, including serving and former Senators, criticise Atiku.

“The Arewa Consultative Forum and the Northern Elders Forum never threatened them. In fact, a faction of Afenifere even endorsed Peter Obi.

“This act of Ohana’eze Ndi’Igbo is sending a very wrong message to Nigeria at a time when we are moving away from tribal politics, to ideology-based politics.”
