Reno Omokri to Obi: Mr Ibu campaigned for you, pay his medical bills

Reno Omokri, a former media aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has called on Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, to pay the medical bills of John Mr. Ibu Okafor who is currently battling with an undisclosed illness.

On Wednesday, the ace actor took to Instagram to plead for financial assistance.

Since a video of Ibu on the sickbed hit the internet, several people have announced their donations for the ailing actor.

Weighing in on Ibu’s predicament, Omokri took to his X handle to appeal to his followers and the public to support the film star.

He also urged the politician to assist Ibu by paying his medical bills.

The ex-media aide said the comic actor “campaigned” for the politician during the February presidential election, adding that “Obi must help Mr Ibu in his time of need”.

“I sympathise with John Ikechukwu Okafor, AKA Mr. Ibu, over his ailment, and I urge all #RenosNuggeteers to donate to the account number he put out. Please do not ignore his cries for help. I also urge members of the public to donate,” he wrote.

“However, this is a man who publicly endorsed Peter Obi. He and his daughter danced for Peter Obi and broke the internet. They went out on the streets campaigning for Obi. The same Peter Obi who boasted that he is richer than President Biden of the US, who at the time of Peter’s boast was worth $8.2 million.

“After all that John Okafor did for him, perhaps Mr. Peter Obi can support him by paying Mr. Ibu’s medical bills. I am even surprised that Peter Obi did not remember to post about Mr. Ibu on his birthday yesterday. Even at that, Peter Obi should help him in his time of need.”
