Reno Omokri, a popular Nigerian socio-political activist, has given reasons why he believes former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar should be Nigeria’s next president in 2023.
Omokri declared on Monday that only Atiku can unite both the Southern and Northern parts of Nigeria together at the moment.
He, however, pointed out that Nigeria is experiencing a very precarious time in its national life owing to the maladministration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a tweet, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan endorsed Atiku for president in 2023.
Omokri also called on all his followers to support Atiku’s presidential candidacy.

He wrote: ‘I wholeheartedly, with my full chest, endorse HE @Atiku to run for President in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, and urge all my supporters to throw their support behind the only man who can unite North and South at this delicate time in our national life.’
Although, Atiku has not officially declared his intentions to run for the presidency, but, there are indications he is nursing a presidential ambition.
Atiku’s campaign posters have been sighted in some states including the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Africa Daily News reports that the former presidential aide, Reno Omokri had in the past predicted that the possibility of northerners retaining power in the forthcoming 2023 general elections is highly very likely.
The socio-political activist had lambasted Southern Nigerians for not giving much attention to the coming elections like their counterparts in the North.
Omokri accused Southern Nigerians of prioritising entertainment particularly the ongoing Big Brother Naija, BBNaija reality TV show to political issues that may shift power to the region after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure elapses.
