Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Ejiofor, Reveals Why Reno Omokri Targets Igbos And Peter Obi

Nigerian lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a key counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, has disclosed the reason behind Reno Omokri’s consistent attacks on Igbos and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi. According to Ejiofor, Omokri’s controversial posts are driven by financial gains rather than genuine political or social concerns.

In a statement released on Friday, Ejiofor alleged that Omokri deliberately crafts insulting and derogatory content targeting Igbos and Peter Obi to generate traffic on his social media platforms. He claimed that the former presidential aide profits from the engagement and impressions generated by his posts on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

“Reno deliberately crafts insulting, derogatory, and disdainful posts targeting the Igbos, in his relentless ethnic baiting against Igbos and the person of Peter Obi,” Ejiofor said. “Why? Because he knows that by provoking you, he can drive up traffic and engagement on his posts.”

Ejiofor warned that continued engagement with Omokri’s content only serves to boost his business by increasing traffic and popularity on his platforms. He urged the public to ignore Omokri’s provocations to diminish his influence and financial benefits.

“His strategy is simple: manipulate your emotions to increase his content’s reach and revenue,” Ejiofor added. “By constantly engaging him to possibly dislodge his often deliberate falsehood, you become an enabler of his intentions and flourishing business. He is not a patriot in the affairs of this Nation; it is only for business enterprise.”

Ejiofor advised those offended by Omokri’s posts to unfollow him and refrain from giving him the attention he seeks, emphasizing that silence and disengagement are the most effective ways to counter his tactics.
