Reno Omokri Exposes Peter Obi’s Alleged Lies About Tanzania’s Power Sector

A viral video has surfaced online featuring Reno Omokri, a Nigerian author, columnist, adventure traveller, and social media influencer, who claims to have busted another lie allegedly told by presidential candidate Peter Obi.

In the video, Omokri, who is currently in Tanzania, presents evidence that contradicts Obi’s previous statement about the East African country’s power sector.

According to Omokri, Obi had claimed that Tanzania had solved its power problems and was producing more electricity than it needed.

However, Omokri’s video shows him taking a cold shower in the dark due to a lack of electricity, which he claims is a common experience in Tanzania.

He also shows a bulb and a light switch, which he uses to demonstrate the lack of electricity in the country.

Omokri argues that Tanzania, despite being an excellent country, is still a developing nation with its own set of challenges, including power outages.

He claims that Nigeria’s infrastructure, including roads, water, and airports, is better than Tanzania’s. He also points out that Nigeria is self-sufficient in petrol and cement production, and even exports these commodities to other countries.

Omokri’s video is the latest in a series of criticisms he has leveled against Obi, whom he accuses of demarketing Nigeria and spreading falsehoods about the country’s progress.

He claims that Obi’s statements are motivated by a desire to contest the presidential election and that he has been comparing Nigeria unfavorably to other countries, including Bangladesh and Egypt.

While Omokri’s video has sparked a lively debate online, it is essential to note that the authenticity of his claims has not been independently verified.

However, the video has raised important questions about the accuracy of information presented by public figures and the need for fact-checking in the public discourse.

In a statement, Omokri urged Nigerians to take Obi’s statements with a pinch of salt, saying that the presidential candidate has a history of spreading falsehoods about Nigeria.

He encouraged Nigerians to be proud of their country’s progress and to visit Tanzania, but not to believe that it is better than Nigeria.
