Oh, what a mockery,\u201d Ibe wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s an oxymoron so wild it should be banned by both logic and language.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that Omokri, who often styles himself as a pastor and moralist, has repeatedly betrayed the very ideals he claims to champion, describing him as a \u201cJudas Iscariot\u201d whose loyalty shifts with political convenience.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ibe\u2019s comments come amid growing criticism of Omokri\u2019s public endorsements and perceived double standards, particularly his recent overtures toward President Bola Tinubu, despite past condemnations of the President\u2019s alleged criminal records and controversies surrounding his academic history.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhy not explain how Government College Lagos awarded a certificate to \u2018Bola A. Tinubu\u2019 in 1970, two years before the school was founded?\u201d Ibe queried.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBetter still, if you truly care about credibility, join the call for the FBI to release Tinubu\u2019s drug records. Or has your new loyalty erased your former fury?\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The piece further mocked Omokri\u2019s oft-repeated claim of loyalty to friends, questioning his frequent verbal assaults on Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, whom he has continually derided online.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou say you don\u2019t attack your friends unless they strike first. What then did Peter Obi do to deserve your endless, vitriolic attacks? Or was his popularity a threat to your ego?\u201d Ibe asked.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Referring to Omokri\u2019s self-image as a pastor, Ibe likened him to \u201cSimon the Sorcerer,\u201d in the Bible accusing him of preaching morality while allegedly flouting basic ethical and family values.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also criticized what he described as Omokri\u2019s \u201ctransactional goodness,\u201d stating that the former aide\u2019s loyalty is not rooted in principles but in personal gain. \u201cYou want a political wife in Tinubu and a side chick in Atiku? Sorry, Reno. Nigeria is not your polygamous playground.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a biting closing line, Ibe warned that Omokri is \u201cexpendable, loud, treacherous, desperate and utterly irrelevant,\u201d asserting that no amount of online posturing will alter that reality.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe has taken a decisive swipe at ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri, describing him as a \u201cclassic&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
