Reno Omokri tackles Peter Okoye as he reacts to a throwback video of him campaigning for Peter Obi in 2023

‘’The Age Factor: Why Peter Okoye Is Really Asking You To Vote For President Tinubu

Earlier right now, I watched a now-viral video by the Afrobeats singer Peter Okoye, wherein the artist, who kinds himself as Mr P, mentioned, inter alia, ‘Let’s go away these outdated guys, dem carried out strive. Let’s retire them’ and vote for Peter Obi. I discover that assertion stunning as a result of it reveals that Mr Okoye lacks depth within the fundamentals of arithmetic.

Peter Obi is 65, whereas his operating mate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, is 70 this 12 months. Kwankwaso’s seventieth birthday is in three days. Together, they’ve a mixed age of 67.5 years. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is 74 this 12 months, whereas Vice President Kashim Shettima is 60. That provides you a mixed age of solely 67 years.

So, going by Peter Okoye’s logic, if we’re to make use of solely age as a consider voting, with the premise that we’re to vote for the youthful and more energizing of the 2 tickets (as a result of it’s a joint ticket), then the pure factor for Nigerians, together with Peter Okoye, to do is to vote for the incumbent Tinubu/Shettima ticket!

If we take into account solely age, then among the many three main Presidential tickets, the youngest is the incumbent ticket, for the reason that Atiku (79) Amaechi (61) ticket has a mixed age of 70 years.

But even past age, there are nonetheless different causes to vote for the President over Peter Obi.

Peter and Paul Okoye began their musical careers in Jos, Plateau State, after which later in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

But solely after they moved to Lagos did they develop into megastars. They finally settled in Lagos and proceed to thrive there.

Why did they thrive in Lagos? Because then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu constructed up Lagos and tripled its Gross Domestic Product throughout his tenure.

For instance, whereas Peter Obi didn’t construct a single nursery, major, secondary, or college, Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu constructed a number of, together with:

The Abibatu Mogaji Millennium Secondary School, Agege.

The Bola Ige Millennium Secondary School, Ajeromi.

The Babs Fafunwa Millennium Secondary School, Ojodu.

The Millennium Senior Secondary School, Egbeda.

But if Peter Okoye can title even one faculty initiated, began, accomplished, and commissioned by Peter Obi, with authorities funds whereas he was Anambra Governor, I, Reno Omokri, will heed his name to vote the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.

And it was not simply colleges. Governor Tinubu constructed Independent Power Projects, together with:

Alausa Independent Power Plant (10.4 MW)

Akute Independent Power Plant (12.55Mw)

Lagos Island 1&2 Independent Power Plant (10Mw)

Mainland Independent Power Plant (8.8Mw)

Lekki Peninsula Integrated Power Project (6Mw)

Island IPP situated in Marina (10MW)

All these and different initiatives had been constructed by the Bola Tinubu Lagos State Government, in partnership with the personal sector, though some had been accomplished by his predecessors, they usually have resulted in Lagos’s economic system being 15 occasions bigger right now than it was in 1991, when it stopped being Nigeria’s capital.

If Mr Peter Okoye can present me, or another Nigerian, even one energy undertaking began, accomplished, and commissioned by Peter Obi with authorities funds whereas he was Anambra Governor, I, Reno Omokri, will heed his name to vote the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.

The query Nigerians ought to ask Peter Okoye is: if Peter Obi’s document in workplace was so exemplary that it deserves his votes and the endorsement of Nigerians, then why are Peter Obi and Peter Okoye, together with their households, dwelling within the Lagos that President Bola Tinubu and his predecessors constructed, fairly than dwelling in Anambra that Peter Obi changed into heaven?

If you might be basing it purely on age and data, then I urge Peter Okoye to vote for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, as a result of since this authorities got here into being, younger Nigerians have by no means skilled even sooner or later of an ASUU nationwide strike.
