Anti-Obi Presidency campaigner and staunch supporter of PDP Atiku Abubakar, Reno Omokri has lauded the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi for their effort in deepening Nigeria’s democracy.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Omokri expressed optimism that the emergence of the LP candidate, an Okada Rider in Kaduna as the winner of last Saturday’s poll to the National Assembly, would attract more supporters to the party in the north.

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 2923. 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”.
