Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to a viral video of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo wearing a cap with President Bola Tinubu’s broken shackles insignia.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) earlier reports that the former president was seen in the video that surfaced social media, donning a cap with President Bola Tinubu’s insignia, which surprised many Nigerians.
Although the occasion where Obasanjo wore the cap to was unclear, Omokri shared the video on X platform, on Friday, seeming to mock supporters of former presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Obasanjo during the 2023 presidential elections, threw his weight behind the Labour Party (LP) candidate and former Anambra governor, Peter Obi, against Tinubu, who had publicly solicited his support before the election.
“Former President Obasanjo Wears Tinubu Branded Cap. I Thought He Was Supporting Peter Obi. Interesting Realignment!” Omokri captioned the video.

One netizen Aondoyima Paul wrote, “Aproko, he wore the cap true, but it’s doesn’t change his mind.”
King Emeka said, “Asiwaju, the greatest Nigeria politician and soon to be the greatest Nigerian president. His achievements will dwaft Obasanjo’s achievements.”
Also, Seun Majibade wrote, “They have all rushed to their whatsapp group to look for what to call the same obasanjo they’ve been praising all these while. Say a prayer for the ibos around you because they’re all going through another, and a lot is going through them.”
Another netizen Lannister Aspiration said it was “coincidence”.
Juliet Gold commented, “Hmmm politicians and their surprise.”
