Since she was removed as the chairman of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and her subsquent relocation to the UK following series of petitions to President Bola Ahmed TINUBU against her due to her alleged disagreement with Ovie Omo-Agege over the last gubernatorial election in Delta State, Ms. Lauretta Onochie, has broken her silence by asking what appears to be a jest out of his demand for President Tinubu to unveil his true identity. Onochie on Wednesday, confronted Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in the last presidential election.
Declaring that Obi would never emerge President of Nigeria, Onochie, who was renowned for her acerbic tongue in confronting individuals opposed to the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and spokesman to former President, Muhammadu Buhari, berated him for making the demand against Tinubu saying there was no need for that.
Obi, had on Wednesday, asked Tinubu to reveal his true identity to Nigerians, amidst the academic records saga of the President at the Chicago State University (CSU), said the fallout from the saga was hurting the whole country and that the matter must be laid to rest by Tinubu speaking himself and not through a proxy or spokesman.
In a series on her X platform, the former NDDC board boss wrote: “Go home, Peter. You will never be declared president of our great nation. Apart from the simple fact that you came a distant third, you don’t deserve to lead our nation. Your temperament and disposition are not the attributes needed to lead a diverse nation such as Nigeria.
“You failed Anambra. You can’t even lead the South-east! Under your nose, the South-east became a war zone. A once vibrant economy built on hard work was destroyed. Lives and properties are ruined. Shelf your desperation. Your ambition is beyond what you deserve. It will never come to pass.”
Onochie, who criticised the former Anambra State governor’s media address on the identity of Tinubu, labelling the move as the “most idiotic request,” carpeted the former governor for questioning Tinubu, who, having served as a two-term governor of Lagos State, was cleared of security checks.
She added: “This is the most idiotic request, Nigerians have had the misfortune of hearing from one, whose advisers are people with mental health issues. How can you allow yourself to be used to question the identity of a man, who has been in the limelight since his youth?
“How can you come low to the level of your gullible followers to begin this late in the day, to question the identity of a man who was checked by our security operatives and cleared twice to govern the most successful and cosmopolitan state in Nigeria, Lagos?
“If you can come on national TV to question the identity of a man who was cleared by all our security operatives to become a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that’s enough justification and validation for your resounding rejection at the polls in 2023.”
“Finally, you want to know our president’s true identity. Well, his real name is, Nemesis Jupiter. His father Karma, is the King of Jupiter who married Nemesis’ mother from Mars. When Mr. President was 25 years old, his family came from Jupiter to swim at the bar beach in Lagos. They left him at the bar beach to fend for himself. So at 25, he did not go to primary, secondary or any tertiary institution. I hope you’re happy now. Just go home, Peter. Put your feet up and enjoy your retirement and grandchildren as I’m doing.”
