Bitter ones were waiting to mock Reno and FFK if they couldn't make the list, now they are in serious pain issuing silly statements as if their opinion matters in national issues. The person you said Reno abuse didn't complain and how is that your business if he chose to nominate him?
Presidency is bigger than tinubu if you don't know.

somehow someone thinks Mexico is worse or even on the same level with Nigeria. A place to send someone to as a punishment . Hehehe! A country that hosted the fifa World Cup as far back as 1970, a country infra-structurally developed and organized to the point of co hosting the upcoming fifa World Cup along USA Canada.
No country in Africa is on the same level with Mexico. GDP wise, infrastructure wise and overall economics .
Perhaps only South Africa can measure in some ways .
You didn't get the memo obviously.

Sending him to those places where he'd get to consort with more drug barons and cartel.

Can't you read and understand? It's not about the person but about the office of the president which is bigger than Tinubu or you think he can do whatever he likes?

Sahara Reporters is well-known for publishing untidy speculations, contradictions and crappy write-ups as seen in this article above.

Reno Omokri being a United Kingdom-trained lawyer will scale through the screening on Tuesday this week by bringing his investigative and legal background into play in the strong defense of the man who is the current Nigerian President. One thing I observed about Reno is that whenever he's WRONG he comes out to apologize and that he did to President 'Bola Tinubu for defaming him after he got more FACTS that Tinubu indeed graduated from the Chicago State University and was NEVER a drug baron. Reno wasn't even the first to make that FALSE claim being spread by the supporters of PDP over 15 years ago.
As far back as the year 2002, the United States Embassy in Lagos through the then Legal Attache, Michael Bonner CLEARLY stated in his official correspondence (the screenshot of the official United States Embassy Legal Attache's document is in the link right BELOW) with the Nigerian Police investigators which (I have seen and read) that based on the information in the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database which contains the names of all convicted criminals in the history of the United States, the then Governor 'Bola Tinubu of Lagos State had NEVER been arrested or convicted on U.S. soil. The so-called 1993 forfeiture of 460,000 USD out of the 1,800,000 USD in the then Senator 'Bola Tinubu's 8 United States bank accounts was for the backlog of UNPAID TAXES on Investments domiciled in those bank accounts. If 'Bola Tinubu was a drug baron, the United States Government would have thrown him into jail and seized all his assets. The United States Government and Department of Justice don't do plea bargains with drug lords. It's totally IRRESPONSIBLE for some creeps and propagandists hiding under opposition politics to keep recycling DISINFORMATION just to demarket Tinubu.

Reno's father was a Judge and he (Reno) is also a lawyer so, he will NOT be a push-over on Tuesday when he will scale through

Tinubu can never disappoint us. He already proved what we've always known about him but told you praise singers but you refused to listen.

During campaigns, 90% of Nigerians who knew him by name alone saw first hand that he had nothing to offer. He was almost brain dead. Couldn't articulate his thoughts, refused to attend any debate, depended on fayemi and hell Rufai to answer questions for him at the international stage.

His only pathway to victory was the size of his bullion vans. And he dished the contents out with reckless abandon. He failed woefully in regions he couldn't buy off.

So what's the surprise there?

If he decides to further disgrace a disgraced country by appointing a disgraced and discredited propagandist, so be it.
The stigma is on Nigeria but most especially him and his family.

Anyway Reno goes, international journalists would heckle him to no end about his president being a drug baron and addict according to him. They will present his digital footprints to him, and there are lots of it.

He will explain taya.

You yourself see what they the journalist do to Trump..hard questions will be asked. No TVC to pamper him there or channels TV.

The drug stigma tinubu so desperately wants to move on from would resurface on international tabloids day in day out.

Whose gain or loss?

Lmaooo😆

Truly, you can't shame the shameless.

For once, Akpabio say no to Tinubu on this matter and hit the gavel.

But he denied Ambode second term for not being loyal. Osunbande nko?
Which of the two men are not his boys today?
Ambode has constantly said and shown that he’s forever loyal to him and the two men have met multiple times to show he (the President) had long forgiven him. Osinbajo too visited him immediately after the election victory to show that enmity doesn’t exist in his dictionary. He’s life mission is to constantly confuse folks like you😂😂

Imagine nominating someone like Reno to an ambassador......... Despite all the insults he poured on Tinubu angry

Well, even if the nomination is to be considered,let him be the Nigerian ambassador to either Columbia or Mexico angry.
Why can't Akpabio appoint him as one of his aide, whhhhhhhhhhhhy? Why this shameless, arrant nonsense? What sort of precedence are they setting?

I am a die hard Tinubu supporter, online and on ground at grassroots level. If Reno is confirmed as ambassador, I will use all my resources to campaign against Tinubu in 2027. I will spend my little money , time and energy.

When we were busy to promote Tinubu in 2022/2023, Reno was busy with all his might and money destroying the Tinubu brand. He did it locally and internationally. Today he is being rewarded with ambassador office

What insult is that. This is not politics. This is a slap on the faces of real Progressives.

The person he abused was the one who nominated him, what's the fuss?

If they could clear Minister Bosun, then Reno should get a pass too.
He is the president of Nigeria not a private citizen. That's the fuss.

Why has he not given Ambode a second chance to loot by bringing him on board and why is odale not defending foolishly like it's going out of fashion like the rest of you? You must be a teenager from the way you reason. 😅😅

Is the position Ambode’s papa birthright? Is he the only viable person that can be made governor in the State that makes it mandatory that he serves the complete 8 years? Forgiving him doesn’t necessarily mean reinstating him back to the position when he’s not the only person vying/qualified for the job. Is the 8 years now tied to his destiny? Is it a must that every Governor should serve for 8 years? Who made the rule and why are you more concerned than the people involved?😂😂Your reasoning is akin to saying that since Baba Obj said he’s already forgiven Atiku and they’ve been saying exchanging friendly gestures, why has he not been campaigning heavily to make him President or since Tinubu and Osinbajo have settled their differences, why can’t Tinubu step down for him?😂
Forgiving you means I’ve agreed that humans will always be humans and we will have clashes every now and then. It also means that you are welcome in my fold but it doesn’t oblige me to make available to you again the chances you once had but blew.
Make una Dey use that thing na at least once in every leap year🙏🏼

The only difference between Reno and Nnamdi Kanu is that Kanu's inflammatory statements stirred up violence in the east and strengthened the sit at home anomaly in the same. Otherwise, Reno should be arrested for such statements against the President of Nigeria. Again, Tinubu's deployment of Reno and Wike into his force could only mean that he can use his enemies if they are resourceful and discard them later.
