2027: Forget Northern Votes – Reno Tackle Obi's Absence At Buhari's Burial by TimeManager(op): 7:28am On Jul 16, 2025

Reno Omokri, former presidential aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and a Northern Youth, known as Sarki on X, have lambasted Peter Obi of the Labour Party for not attending late president Muhammadu Buhari’s burial in Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.

Omokri and Sarki made their feelings known in separate statements on X on Tuesday.

This comes as ex-president Buhari was given a statewide burial on Tuesday with the presence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ex-vice presidents Atiku Abubakar and Yemi Osinbajo, and
other top dignitaries.

However, Obi Peter was visibly absent during Buhari’s funeral on Tuesday.

Reacting, Reno Omokri questioned Obi’s absence.
According to him, Obi’s absence at the late Buhari’s burial showed his disposition towards the region.

He further accused Peter Obi of being a pretender.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in Daura from beginning to end, showing his personal devotion to General Muhammadu Buhari and his commitment to the North. Arewa, remember who was not there!

“On October 19, 2024, during General Gowon’s 90th birthday, Peter Obi called him ‘an enemy’ to be forgiven.” His exact words. And today, when General Buhari, the successor to Ahmadu Bello, was being buried, Peter Obi was nowhere to be found.

“Meanwhile, last week, he said Nnamdi Kanu’s trial ‘makes no sense.'” Again, these are his exact words. This is the same Nnamdi Kanu who says the vilest things about Arewa and lied that General Buhari died in 2017 and was replaced by a clone from Sudan named Jubril.

“Arewa, isn’t the handwriting on the wall clear?
“In 2027, Nigeria needs a truly Nigerian president in Aso Rock, not a pretender whose true allegiance lies elsewhere,” he wrote on his X.

On his part, Sarki said Obi’s absence at Buhari’s burial may affect his acceptance in Northern Nigeria in the 2027 presidential election.

“Peter Obi didn’t attend President Muhammadu Buhari’s burial. This is the same man who expects northerners to hand over Nigeria to him.
“Let’s see how he plans to become president without our votes,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, DAILY POST reports that Omokri and Sarki have been critics of Peter Obi.

Earlier, activist lawyer Maduabuchi Idam questioned why President Tinubu declared a public holiday on Tuesday in honour of Buhari.

I wonder what happened to him to have failed to show up at the burial even though he is in the country, his team are doing a really bad job.
This is a man that has literally made the North his second home immediately after the 2023 elections, going from one state to another donating boreholes and breaking Ramadan fast in mosques. He was literally begging to visit Benue after herdsmen attacks but for the Governor who refused him. He was in ilorin last week where he was advocating that the coalition zone its ticket to the south. he was also in Jos this past Thursday where he visited some Islamic clerics who wore him an Hausa attire.. After all, he has taken it as a past time to be paying condolences to victims of attacks and the bereaved without giving a hoot about what people say about him. Why then did he fail to attend this crucial burial that seems to be at the very top of it all?.

-Kiss the truth!

What the heck is wrong with these folks and threatening with votes?

Can only northern votes make an individual president?

Any small thing, the north will not forget.

As una no vote am in 2023, did he die? Is he suffering the hardship majority of “northerners” and Nigerians are suffering?

Seems Reno and CO had an evil plan against Peter Obi in Katsina state.

Suddenly Peter Obi's arch Enemies suddenly showing him some fake love....

Peter Obi is unpredictable. I thought RenoMonkey and said Peter is too desperate, and now Peter Obi did something differently and they're still complaining.

Shame ohh Shame on RenoMonkey and co.

Either Peter Obi becomes the President of Nigeria in 2027 or Tinubu should continue. We the good people of the South are good to go.

No one from the North is allowed in Ask Rock, because it's still the turn of the South to finish it's 8 years term.

Either Peter Obi or Tinubu gets it, we are good to go cool

Wat is the problem with these APC miscreants? And why must Obi attend the burial of Buhari? The same Buhari they and Tinubu blamed for destroying Nigeria has now bcom their Messiah.
Very pathetic miscreants.

This Reno is something else, it's not everything that is politics, does it mean that Tinubu went there because of our votes? Please have some sense. What will determine the next Northern votes is Pragmatic impact of the renewed hope agenda of the current government, you should stop deceiving the president with false hope, we know you are hungry but you need to be talking rationally.

All these old tricks won't work, Reno! The northerners already know who you are and where you belong. They already know your mission as well. They are far wiser than you and the person who sent you.

BTW:

But, why is Nairaland's bot keeps allowing Reno's hate speeches on front page, whereas, if someone else typed same, it will be deleted?

Lol, Obi is just scoring own goal. Maybe he didn't attend Buhari's Burial because he can't possibly politicize it unlike his visits to victims of bandit attacks where he uses the stage to launch verbal attacks at the Government. He knew there's no room to attack the Government at Buhari's burial and there's no media to give him the opportunity of talking. 😂😂

He was invited to a traditional ruler in yorubaland burial , he wasn't invited to buhari burial which is sponsored by tinubu.both events happned the same time and he attended the one he was invited and welcomed .

this denial of invitation was clearly and roundly a state sponsor policy and tinubu penalty for anyone who mistakingly invite peter is sack, jail and in some cases ,maybe death to that official

He should gate crash ? And get arrested ?
Obi will visit when he gets clearance and is invited .

So Peter Obi will go and face Tinubu in 2027 alone. You must be dreaming. Results will be ready a month to election. They won't give him up to 2 million votes. My own is that Tinubu should be out of there.

2027, Only GOD CAN REMOVE TINUBU. Look at what he did in 2023 and came out strong do you expect him to give it up easily?
He doesn't need whole North but needs some northern elite to do few work.
You will understand that rigging is superior than voting in 2027.
SEBI IT IS STILL SAME INEC POCKET BY HIM.
ABI RIVERS PEOPLE VOTE TINUBU BEFORE He WON?

Obi know if he attended yesterday he won't get the necessary attention and recognition, am very sure he will visit daura with his cameraman and carrying his bag himself while he serve Aisha buhari food. With his normal black clothes

Peter Obi didn’t attend President Muhammadu Buhari’s burial. This is the same man who expects northerners to hand over Nigeria to him.
“Let’s see how he plans to become president without our votes,” he wrote.

I am worried about the above statement. So its solely northerners that hold power and as such have the sole power to hand over power to anyone.
