Former presidential media aide, Reno Omokri, has stated that no politician who jumps from one party to another has succeeded in leading Nigeria.

Omokri made the comment in a social media post on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

He argued that Nigeria’s diverse political landscape requires stability, which is often associated with consistent party affiliation.

According to him, individuals who frequently switch parties may not be able to provide the stability needed in the country.

His words: “For the sixty-five years of Nigeria’s existence as an independent nation, nobody who has jumped from party to party has ever become President.

“Tafawa Balewa was in one party only. Ditto for President Shagari. Presidents Obasanjo, Yar’adua, and Jonathan were only ever in the PDP.

Buhari was in the ANPP until the party collapsed into factions. Then, he formed his own party, the CPC, which eventually coalesced with others and became the present APC.

“President Tinubu was in the AD, which became the ACN, which merged with the CPC and the nPDP to form the ruling APC. The others were military men who had only one constituency-the Nigerian Armed Forces.

“Nigeria is a very diverse country, and this can cause tensions. Only a politically stable person can stabilise the nation. The best predictor of the future is the past. Those who jump from party to party cannot bring stability. They can only bring apathy and anarchy.”

I've never met an adult who is as garrulous as Reno.

Chochocho, always looking for relevance.

Bobloco:
Reno Omokri can only deceive his hordes of zombies

Tinubu moved from SDP to AD, then to AC, followed by ACN, and finally to APC.

Buhari on the other hand moved from ANPP to CPC, and then to APC.

But the m0000nkey was supporting Atiku who have been a member of many parties.

Factcheck0001:
u Igbos lie to yourselves a lot n when reality hits u hard, u start crying

So u didn't know AC became ACN cos Nigeria was added to it n it merged into APC, u Igbos can't do that to your apga cos u are full of hate n vile n nobody will associate with that.

Even the labor party that u Igbos are, people are beginning to desert it cos they can't stand your vile n hate.

By 2026 only Igbos will b left in labour party

Sheuns:
Buhari jumped from ANPP to CPC to APC
Tinubu from AD to ACN to APC.

casualobserver:


Jump is different from merge.


Yes Buhari left ANPP but he created his own party. Tinubu has never left his party.

Sheuns:


Why did you cleverly leave out the SDP he mentioned?

Did SDP also merge to form APC?
