Nigerian Commentator Urges Host Countries To Reject Reno Omokri As Ambassador

BY BONIFACE Okeke

Nigerian public commentator and political writer, Valentine Obienyem, a lawyer has announced that he will formally petition any country to which Mr. Reno Omokri is posted as Nigeria’s ambassador to pressure such host government not to accept his letter of credence.

In a detailed letter addressed to the President of the prospective host country and copied to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Internal Affairs, Obienyem raises what he described as “grave concerns” about Omokri’s suitability to represent Nigeria diplomatically.

According to Obienyem, the objection was based on Omokri’s “publicly documented conduct and long-standing behaviour,” which he argues demonstrated instability, shifting loyalties, and an excessive tendency towards personal advancement rather than national interest.

Obienyem warned that accepting Omokri as ambassador could, in his view, pose risks to bilateral relations.

A substantial portion of the letter focused on Omokri’s past public commentaries on Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Obienyem recounted that in the period preceding and during the 2023 presidential election, Omokri was an outspoken critic of Tinubu, participating in protests and using strong language on social media to question the President’s fitness for office.

He further recalled instances in which Omokri mocked Tinubu’s health, referring to him as a “London patient”.

The letter also referenced Omokri’s past claims regarding Tinubu’s academic records and allegations of corruption, noting that these statements were made publicly and without caveat at the time. Obienyem provided links to videos and social media posts which he said demonstrated these positions, emphasising that his account was based on Omokri’s own published words.

Obienyem noted what he described as a dramatic reversal after the election. He recalled that Omokri had publicly declared he would never work with Tinubu, characterising such an arrangement as contrary to his “principles and DNA”.

However, according to the letter, Omokri later became an open supporter of the President, endorsing his policies, defending key decisions, and aligning himself with the administration’s “Renewed Hope Agenda”. This shift, Obienyem argued, has attracted widespread public attention and controversy in Nigeria.

The letter further stated that Omokri’s ambassadorial appointment has been protested by citizens, civil society groups, and commentators across the country, all questioning his suitability for diplomatic office. Obienyem suggested that the decision to proceed with the nomination despite these objections has deepened public unease.

Another major concern raised was Omokri’s alleged pattern of sycophantic behaviour. Obienyem argued that this tendency could lead to exaggerated or misleading representations to host governments in an effort to gain favour, thereby undermining trust and accurate diplomatic communication.

In conclusion, Obienyem advised host governments to exercise caution and to decline acceptance of Omokri’s letter of credence. He described his intervention as an act of patriotism, warning that, in his view, accepting Omokri could expose both Nigeria and the host country to reputational risk.

“This is not a personal matter,” the letter stated, “but a question of public responsibility and the integrity of diplomatic representation.”

Obienyem said he is prepared to supply further documentation of Omokri’s public statements upon request, adding that his objections will be raised whenever and wherever Omokri is posted.

This one is just playing to the gallery in order to impress the usual suspects.
His letter, that is if he even writes it, will be thrown into the dust bin.
He abused Tinubu and later supports him and the Tinubu later rewarded him with appointment, wetin come concern Val inside the matter Like I said earlier, he is just playing to the gallery.

He should shove his opinion

These people would tell you with a straight face that Nnamdi Kanu is very innocent, but would want the world to hang people like Reno, Wike, Onanuga.....
Nobody is ever guilty of anything as long as he belongs to their tribe. Only those from other tribes are bad.

The same mindset they used to kill other tribes leaders in January 1966 and spare their own.

That their flat empty brains Dey amaze me! I swear na person wey no wise Dey take those clowns serious.

Major Donatus Okafor who was tasked to assassinate Brig General Mailameri revealed that he joined the Jan 16 Ibo coup in order to rid Nigeria of corruption and corrupt politicians.

Donatus had been a year before indicted by an indepent inquiry for theft of NCO funds that were kept in his care.

Donatus had approached Mailameri to help him from being kicked out of the army to which Mailameri did all he could to squash the case of theft going before a military court martial.

Donatus did not see all this but still went on the mission to murder Mailameri to which Mailameri barely escaped only to be shot by Ifenajuna whom Mailameri bumped into and hailed him to stop thinking Ifeanjuna was not part of the plot.

Note that Ifeanjuna had attended a party celebrating Mailameri's child birth.

As per this one and his lot, they still think they have some sort of relevance in the scheme or things.

Tinubu you didn't vote for and have been in support of his ouster by coup , impeachment and any other extra constitutional means their fish brains can dream up .

But here they are thinking they can dictate to Tinubu whom he will appoint in his government.

They were throwing tantrums when it was rumours that Reno will make the list of ambassadorial nominees.

They cried and screamed when Reno finally made the list.

They then threatened all their senators to ensure Reno never passed the screening stage .

Now that Reno has scaled all the obstacles to becoming an ambassador, they are now thinking of sending their spam mail to.every listed country Reno might be sent to not to accept him.

What nonentities .

Valentine Obienyem is a hero.

Val and his fellow kinsmen have been insulting Tinubu on a daily basis since Tinubu decided to run for office and were clapping for Reno when he was doing his own insult run on Tinubu.

Why can't he say the true reason why they are writing to eery country that Reno might be representing Nigeria as an amanassador instead of this foolish excuse which Val is most likely engaged in every single hour of his waking life?

Val and his entire kinfolk are against Reno for destroying their Peter Obi and exposing their hypocrisy and lies.

Hmmm. This is serious. I doubt that Reno will be able to convince his critics that he is deserving of the honour and respect that comes with being a country's ambassador.

Someone trying to locate IPOB terrorists mumu bottom so that he can become emergency role model

Make I no talk wetin dey my mind. Sha!

Every new day, this inebriated revisionist will always hasten to throttle out all sorts of mumbo-jumbo in the name of explaining a coup that happened long before he was born. Making no sense but propelled by rampaging ethnic disdain, he powers on with lies as "facts" and barefaced propaganda as the truths. Making up all sorts of sterile tales as he goes. Dude has become a one man crusader of lies from the lands of the ronutards.. A monument to pettiness..
Keep it up..

Another Obi supporter making noise.

Who.has been dwelling in the past if not you guys whose agitation for Biafra is based on same revisionist lies your ever lying grand parents told you.

When we counter you with irefutable facts, you begin to cry that we are revisiting the past and we should let the past be bygones

But not a day goes by that we don't see you guys opening useless revisionised lies and recycling biafran war time propaganda.

As per Maj Donatus Okafor, the records of him stealing NCO funds kept in his care are there to verify.

Okafor was a thief who repaid the officer and gentleman , Mailameri with an attempt on his life.

That just goes to show you the kind of hypocritical crooks that were part of that coup.

Even in the coalition govt headed by Belewa, it was the NCNC branch that were always grabbing the headlines for one corruption case or the other. The NPC did not have any case of its members and ministers engaged in corruption but Donatus and co.left the crooks he claimed they wanted to purge and went after innocent pious men

Clown! So, what qualifies one as an ambassador is support for the president! Rubbish.

Don't mind him


I don't know why he can't just come out and say he is against Reno being appointed and deployed as an ambassador because Reno exposed their obidient mob as a tribal movement bent on imposing a fraud as President of Nigeria
Same fraud Reno has done 70% damage to his highly crafted fake holy identity.

Even Obi left apga to PDP to LP to ADC

In the NPC

I guess Okotie Eboh was from the NPC and not of the NCNC..,Right?

Kwantiniu with your barefaced lies..
What do you know?
You that believe that Aguiyi Ironsi was part of the coup.
You that argeu that it was not Aguiyi Ironsi that stopped the coup.
You that believe that igbos started the war by firing the first shot, even when every independent assessment points to the opposite.
You that doesn't even acknowledge the Yoruba quantity in the rank and file of the coupist..
You that will hide Awolowos FIRST COUP of 1963 and use your propaganda machinery to tag the 1966 coup as the "first coup by the igbos"!

Like I said, do what you have to do to eat.., there is a Reno "anywhere belle face" Omokri in all of you.. But facts can't been buried while we are around..

You are not a legislator. People representing you have approved Reno’s nomination. In what capacity are you writing?

You are a Lone Ranger.

Sens e has departed someone sha.

Okotie Eboh was not ibo and had showed more loyalty to the PM than to Zik.

That's why he was murdered.

If you like run with the Awo coup.

When ever did Awo ever meet to conspire with the coup plotters?

Did they visit him at Calabar prison to hatch the coup?

May God almighty save you all from your pathological lying tongues.

Jan 15 coup was carried out on the behest of Azikiwe to halt the Federal Parliament granting the minorities in the coastal provinces a referendum to leave your Eastern Nigeria for you.

Isn't it ironic that today, you are all crying to God knows whom for same referendum you denied the minority people whose only sin was they were lumped with you by the British in that colonial estate called Eastern Nigeria.

Everything you are crying today, you did far worse on the entire people of Nigeria and you will continue crying to your nth generation until you apologise for what you did to Nigerians and Nigeria.

If not hypocrisy, but when Reno Omokri was accusing Tinubu upandan leading up to the general election of 2023 you were praising him, all of a sudden u switched like a bic cigarette lighter, what happened?

When Nyesom Wike was against the APC & Buhari for 8 years as governor, never attended any meeting with President Buhari he was your hero, now today, u detest that same Wike that u once idolized, what happened?

You don't even know the reason why your Awolowo was in calabar prisons. Lol. And you are all over the place pontificating on issues way above your pay grade!?

You need to be tutored, because you are alarmingly bereft of ideas on these issues. Quantum verbiage can't obscure glaring ignorance..
