- Obi had challenged President Bola Tinubu to reveal his true identity
- Lauretta lamented that under his Obi’s watch, the south-east became a “war zone,” and the economy and property of residents were destroyed
- Says Obi failed in Anambra
The immediate past chairman of the governing board, Niger Delta Development Commission, Lauretta Onochie, has stated that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, will “never be declared” the president of Nigeria.
Onochie made the statement on Wednesday sequel to Obi’s press conference during which he challenged President Bola Tinubu to reveal his true identity.
Obi, on Wednesday, had asked Tibunu to reveal his true identity to Nigerians, amidst the academic records saga of the president at the Chicago State University.
However, in a series of tweets posted via her profile on X (formerly Twitter), the former NDDC board chairman wrote, “Go home, Peter. You will never be declared president of our great nation. Apart from the simple fact that you came a distant third, you don’t deserve to lead our nation. Your temperament and disposition are not the attributes needed to lead a diverse nation such as Nigeria.”
She lamented that under his (Obi’s) watch, the south-east became a “war zone,” and the economy and property of residents were destroyed.
“You failed Anambra. You can’t even lead the South-east! Under your nose, the South-east became a war zone. A once vibrant economy built on hard work was destroyed. Lives and properties are ruined. Shelf your desperation. Your ambition is beyond what you deserve. It will never come to pass.”
Onochie criticised the former Anambra State governor’s media address on the identity of Tinubu, labelling the move as the “most idiotic request.”
She also berated why Obi would question Tinubu, who, having served as a two-term governor of Lagos State, was cleared of security checks.

“Dear Peter Obi, You have shamelessly just gone on national TV to call on the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to reveal his identity to Nigerians and the world.
“This is the most idiotic request, Nigerians have had the misfortune of hearing from one, whose advisers are people with mental health issues.
“How can you allow yourself to be used to question the identity of a man, who has been in the limelight since his youth?” she asked.
The tweets read further, “How can you come low to the level of your gullible followers to begin this late in the day, to question the identity of a man who was checked by our security operatives and cleared twice to govern the most successful and cosmopolitan state in Nigeria, Lagos?
“If you can come on national TV to question the identity of a man who was cleared by all our security operatives to become a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that’s enough justification and validation for your resounding rejection at the polls in 2023.”
Onochie wrote, “Finally, you want to know our president’s true identity. Well, his real name is, Nemesis Jupiter. His father Karma, is the King of Jupiter who married Nemesis’ mother from Mars. When Mr. President was 25 years old, his family came from Jupiter to swim at the bar beach in Lagos. They left him at the bar beach to fend for himself. So at 25, he did not go to primary, secondary or any tertiary institution. I hope you’re happy now.
“Just go home, Peter. Put your feet up and enjoy your retirement and grandchildren as I’m doing.”
