Reno Omokri, a former presidential assistant, has encouraged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders to thoroughly research President-elect Bola Tinubu in order to defeat him politically.
Omokri, a PDP leader and outspoken opponent of the All Progressives Congress (APC), claimed that Tinubu has been laying the groundwork for his ascent to power since 1998.
He claimed, in a tweet, that Tinubu has given some politicians in the nation power and elevated them to positions of prominence in order to assist him.

According to Omokri, no other politician except former President Olusegun Obasanjo that “has perfected the art of emotional suppression and stooping to conquer like him (Tinubu).”
The ex-Presidential aide, then, urged his fellow party members to stop insulting Tinubu’s intelligence but “study it and outfox it.”
Omokri made these points known via his social media platforms on Wednesday, stressing that the former Lagos state governor “is on excellent terms with army generals and has incorporated family members of leaders of our intelligence agencies into his patronage network.”
“Tinubu has been preparing for 2023 since 1998. He has a former Lagos Commissioner as a top shot at INEC. He has judges he appointed as Governor that are now in the Court of Appeals. He made Lawan Senate President and installed Gbajabiamila as Speaker,” Omokri wrote.
He further said;
One-quarter of Buhari’s ministers are his appointees. He helped the owners of Oando and Alphabets become dollar billionaires. He has turned many journalists from paupers to multimillionaires. He is on excellent terms with army generals and has incorporated family members of leaders of our intelligence agencies into his patronage network.
But Tinubu went further than Akpabio in that, apart from Olusegun Obasanjo, no other Nigerian politician has perfected the art of emotional suppression and stooping conquer like him.

Advising PDP, Omokri said;
Instead of insulting his intelligence, let us, as PDP, study it and outfox him. We should not be too ashamed to copy his playbook. That is how you become a Chess Grandmaster. You spend months studying your opponents’ plays. We must study Tinubu to defeat him like Erdogan studied Fethullah Gülen and then destroyed his political base.
