Both men shared their thoughts via posts on X on Tuesday, the 15th of July, 2025, the same day Buhari was buried with national honour.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Vice Presidents Atiku Abubakar and Yemi Osinbajo, and several dignitaries were in attendance. Obi was not.
Reacting to Obi’s absence, Omokri questioned his commitment to the North.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in Daura from beginning to end, showing his personal devotion to General Muhammadu Buhari and his commitment to the North. Arewa, remember who was not there!
“On October 19, 2024, during General Gowon’s 90th birthday, Peter Obi called him ‘an enemy’ to be forgiven.” His exact words. And today, when General Buhari, the successor to Ahmadu Bello, was being buried, Peter Obi was nowhere to be found.
