Former presidential aide and Ambassador-designate, Reno Omokri, has taken a swipe at former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his criticism of the newly signed Tax Reform Act, accusing him of hypocrisy and historical revisionism.
Omokri’s reaction followed Obi’s public comments faulting the tax reforms introduced by the Bola Tinubu administration, which came into effect on January 1, 2026.
In a statement released yesterday, Omokri argued that Obi lacked the moral authority to criticise the new tax regime, citing what he described as Obi’s own record of “taxing poverty” while in office as Anambra governor.
