Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili recently reprimanded Lai Mohammed for accusing Presidential aspirant, Peter Obi of treason. She called his actions thoughtless and described them as an abuse of power.
Popular political commentator and avid Atiku supporter, Reno Omokri has been very vocal throughout the electoral process, pointing out flaws or giving accolades as he sees fit.
Today in a tweet, he called out the former minister for speaking up in defense of Peter Obi without addressing the leaked audio and Obi’s alleged “religious war” comment or Ahmed Datti’s outburst on Channels News.
He accused her of selective outrage. Noting that she condemned the death of Deborah, a student who was killed by Muslim religious extremists, but kept quiet over Harira’s murder in Anambra. He described the former minister as a “Refined IPOB” implying that her support and defense of Peter Obi was driven by tribalistic sentiment.
Mrs. Ezekwesili has made no response to these allegations.
