Okada Rider: I Never Knew Peter Obi And LP Would Be Able To Do This – Reno Omokri Gushes In Admiration

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has praised the Labour Party(LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi for making it possible for a motorcycle rider, Donatus Mathew to be elected as the representative of the Kaura Federal constituency of Southern Kaduna.

Naija News recalls that the LP candidate who successfully polled 10,466 votes was declared the winner after defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which scored 9,828 votes.

Reacting to the development, Omokri described the election of Mathew as true democracy.

Speaking via a post on his Facebook page, Omokri opined that the victory of the LP candidate would produce more support for the party in the north.

He noted that he never thought the LP would be able to achieve such a feat in 2023, maintaining that if they continued on such a path, they would make the society more egalitarian.

He wrote, “Under Labour Party, an Okada rider, Donatus Mathew, won election to the House of Representatives in Kaduna. This is democracy in its purest form. And for this, I thank Peter Obi and the Labour Party.

Both of them have done much to deepen our democracy. I never envisaged that this could happen in Nigeria in the year 2023. In the future, perhaps I imagined it happening. But not now.

“If Labour continues this way, they will make Nigeria a more egalitarian society.

“This news will make Labour more acceptable in Kano, the centre of Northern egalitarianism, which is the utopian ideal that the late Aminu Kanu tried to build with the Talakawa through the Northern Elements Progressive Union, and later his Peoples Redemption Party”.
