Former presidential aide to President Jonathan, Reno Omokri has accused the Labour Party Presidential candidate in 2023 elections, Mr. Peter Obi, of hypocrisy over his reaction to the death of Dr. Doyin Okupe.
Reno on his X account details how the late Presidential spokes person was abandoned during his health challenges.
He also spoke about Dr. Doyin Okupe s financial challenges and how it was tough for him to raise money for his treatment while Peter Obi abandoned him to his faith.

When Doyin Okupe was down with cancer, you abandoned him. He reached out to me almost in tears and reported all you did to him. You lied to the world that you helped him. In reality, you were not even speaking with him. When he returned from Israel after the Gaza war broke out, you were coincidentally on the same plane. You walked by him without even greeting him. His wife is a witness.
Dr. Okupe spent all his money on his health. He sold his assets to pay for medical bills. We, his friends, raised millions for him. I spoke to different individuals, who have NEVER spoken up, and they gave substantially to Dr. Okupe. You did not. You gave NOTHING. Yet, you, who did not do anything, came on social media to posture and give the impression that you did.
I have Dr. Okupe’s words recorded in documentary form, stating what you did to him when he was at his worst. And in his own words, supporting you was his greatest “error of judgment” (his exact words).
Not only did you not help him, but his support for you had turned him into an enemy of those who would have helped him.
I urge the media to approach Dr. Okupe’s family to verify from the horse’s mouth if what I am saying is true. If you do not have Mrs. Doyin Okupe’s number and those of his children and you are a reputable media organisation, reach out to me, and I will provide it to you. If Peter Obi ever denies this, he should be reminded that I do not speak without evidence.
This post is nothing but a hypocritical attempt to gain public sympathy from a man who rose on the back of Dr. Doyin Okupe, only to quarrel with him, then abandon him when he needed him most, and shockingly turned around after his death to posture as if he was a friend in need of Dr. Okupe.
