Northern Forum Urges Northern Senators to Confirm Reno Omokri as Ambassador

The Northern Forum for Good Governance has appealed to Northern Senators to support and ratify the nomination of Mr. Reno Omokri as one of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ambassadorial nominees.

In a statement signed by its Coordinator, Dr. Musa Mohammed ,the group said Omokri has demonstrated “the capacity to lead and represent Nigeria effectively at any level,” adding that his nomination is a welcome development deserving of national support.

President Tinubu recently forwarded 32 ambassadorial nominees— including Omokri — to the Senate for confirmation, just days after sending an initial list of three names. However, sources within the National Assembly revealed that the Senate is currently grappling with internal disagreements, largely triggered by Omokri’s inclusion on the list.

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and a prominent social media commentator, had in the past been critical of President Tinubu, including allegations that he once referred to the President as a “drug baron.” These past comments have reportedly stirred controversy within Senate circles as lawmakers debate his suitability.

But the Northern Forum for Good Governance insists that ambassadorial appointments should be based solely on merit, competence, and the capacity to deliver, not on sentiments or past political disagreements.

“The issues of capacity and performance should be the yardstick for appointments, not flippant matters or emotional considerations,” the group stated.

The Forum urged Northern Senators to prioritize national cohesion and development by supporting Omokri’s confirmation. It argued that President Tinubu’s decision to nominate him despite previous criticisms shows statesmanship and an ability to recognize talent above personal differences.

“Tinubu must have seen a unique side of him despite his past attacks, and that is what is most important from a good leader,” the statement added.

The Senate is expected to begin screening the nominees in the coming days.

Reno Omokri is a good ambassadorial nominee.

You all don't get it, do you? It's not a yab, he dared Tinubu to take him to court. Instead of doing so, Tinubu is offering him money and appointments. That's not forgiveness, that's bribery and appeasement. The same was the case with Bosun, Bwala and FFK. Reno hasn't recanted his assertions, to the best of the knowledge of Nigerians. Nigeria is not Tinubu's real estate for him to do as he pleases. He must be accountable to Nigerians and Nigerians should have a say on their representatives. Tinubu should have rather appointed him as his principal private secretary who will draw his salary from Tinubu's own account, not on taxpayer's money.

Nothing consign you with Tinubu decision, it is his prerogative to forgive and there's nothing anyone can do.

When Batist discuss, Atikulators should pack one side. Since when have you started fighting Tinubu's cause?

Now you are changing mouth. You couldn't even sustain your conviction for a paltry 24hrs.
The first wind of opposition that hit you from your WhatsApp group blew you back to default setting.
You are indeed fickle minded. 🙁🙁

The nomination of Reno as an ambassador is a political masterstroke by president Tinubu.

Those who are against it would only have to swallow it as the nomination is already a done deal

You personally created this thread barely 24 hours ago. Were you reprimanded on your WhatsApp group? Like Ttalk, like Reno, like Tinubu. All birds of the same feather.

Good to see that the Northern Forum acknowledges the merit in Omokri's nomination.

You take those Laptops serious? They like decieving themselves. You should know there Modus operandi

This are thesame thugs that supported Buhari

Merit and capacity should be the overriding consideration for every appointment.

I think Reno will do well as an ambassador. His experience and understanding of international relations will serve Nigeria well.
