Omokri said Obi would have accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if Ekpa had been convicted in Nigeria.
The social media critic said Obi would have accused Tinubu of victimising Ekpa because of his ethnicity.
Omokri stated this via his X handle @renoomokori on Monday, September 1, 2025.
“If Simon Ekpa had been convicted in Nigeria, Peter Obi would have accused President Tinubu of intolerance and victimising him because of his ethnicity.
“With alacrity and gusto, Peter Obi called for the arrest and trial of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, AKA K1 De Ultimate, after his altercation with ValueJet. And the same Peter Obi said Nnamdi Kanu's trial "doesn't make sense." He wanted KWAM 1 in prison and Kanu free.
“Now, he refuses to comment on Simon Ekpa's conviction in Finland. Maybe he is in mourning!"
Nigerians react as Finland jails Simon Ekpa
@DbPragmatic
Peter Obi will probably just keep quiet on this Simon Ekpah conviction.
You know PO doesn't like to say anything about IPOB. He is an IPOB sympathizer.
@EdJacob37574918
His excellency @PeterObi must publicly address the sentencing of Simon Ekpa. Silence, in the face of such a landmark conviction for inciting terrorism and violence, is not neutrality—it is complicity. If he fails to speak, let the record reflect that he tacitly endorses the atrocities for which Mr. Ekpa has been jailed.
Eastern Nigerian leaders 🇳🇬 must also speak. Their silence is deafening.
@ogunseye_tosin
I think the judge is very lenient with Ekpa. Kanu sentence must be the one that will Lock him up and the keys thrown into Atlantic ocean.
@michael_m1392
After serving in Finland, Ekpa will come and meet his Biafra President inside Kirikiri for a normal executive cabinet meeting...
2 clowns 🤡 🤡
Peter Obi will pretend as if he didn't hear the news because he don't want to offend his supporters (IPOB)
The headless mobs are sad

The court ruled that Ekpa was guilty of promoting terrorist acts and being involved with a terrorist organisation.
Prosecutors Seek Six Years Jail Term for Simon Ekpa
Finnish prosecutors are seeking a six-year prison sentence for Ekpa over terrorism and incitement charges.
Authorities say Ekpa used social media to promote violence in Nigeria’s South-East, and he's also facing allegations of tax fraud and arms dealings.
Ekpa, through his lawyer, has denied all charges, questioning the credibility of evidence sourced from Nigerian authorities.
