Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has said Peter Obi should be careful about baiting the military to plan a coup with his claims that democracy has collapsed in Nigeria.

In a post on Facebook, Omokri stated that Obi lost the #NigerianElections2023 fairly and squarely and should not be making such irresponsible statement.

He lalso reminded him that he ost at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal and all the way to the Supreme Court.

"The State of Emergency declared on Rivers and Governor Simi Fubara's suspension is not anti-democratic.

"Peter Obi is from Anambra. We remember when the Governor of Anambra was undemocratically removed even after swearing an oath to his godfather at the Okija shrine and locked up in a toilet. If democracy did not die then, why should it die now, Peter?

"Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa declared a State of Emergency in the Western Region on May 29, 1962, and suspended the Premier while appointing Dr Moses Majekodunmi as the Administrator of the region.

"On May 18, 2004, President Olusegun Obasanjo declared a State of Emergency in Plateau State, suspended the Governor, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly, and appointed Major General (rtd) Chris Ali as the Administrator.

"On October 18, 2006, he did the same thing in Ekiti and appointed Brigadier General Tunde Olurin as the Administrator.

"Incidentally, Peter Obi was Governor of Anambra State at that time and did not raise any concerns or complaints.

"So, why has democracy suddenly died now that a State of Emergency has been declared in Rivers State and Governor Simi Fubara is suspended?

"The only difference is that now Peter Obi wants to be President. Since he can't be President, seeing as he lost the 2023 elections and their so-called coalition is dead on arrival, that means that to him, democracy in Nigeria is dead.

"Interestingly, Peter Obi did not hold Local Government elections in Anambra for seven years, which was unconstitutional. He became Governor in 2006 and only held elections in 2014. Whereas LGA elections are to be held every four years. Yet, here he is today, saying democracy in Nigeria has died.

"This is about Peter Obi and his failed Presidential ambition, which died the day his Yes Daddy audio threatening 'Religious War' on Muslims was leaked, not about Nigeria."
