Olumide Akpata, the party’s governorship candidate, came in a distant third in the polls, with Monday Okepbholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerging as the winner.
While the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Asue Ighodalo and Akpata, are still deciding on their next steps, Reno Omokri has criticized Obi, threatening to expose how he deposited state funds totaling $35 million at the expense of residents.
An excerpt from his Facebook post reads: “Just imagine Peter Obi accusing President Tinubu of state capture. What nonsense!

Money that was earning interest for his bank, Fidelity Bank. Interest that was going into his private pocket.
“If I am lying, let Peter Obi sue me. I have all the facts. If Peter Obi had done this in America, Canada, or Europe, he would have been in jail!”
“He refused to build infrastructure in Anambra because he did not want to remove the money from his bank. He kept the money there, sitting in his bank vaults, earning interest for him, when Anambra children needed schools. He refused to build even one nursery, primary, secondary school, or university.”
