Tinubu is Christlike, says Omokri after ambassadorial nomination
Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, says President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated the true essence of forgiveness after nominating him for an ambassadorial role.
In a statement on Sunday, Omokri expressed appreciation to God, his family, and the president, describing Tinubu’s gesture as an act of leadership rooted in reconciliation and national unity.
“I thank God Almighty for this nomination and look forward to serving my fatherland and humanity. I am particularly grateful to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his visionary and exemplary leadership,” he said.
According to Omokri, the president’s approach to governance has deepened his understanding of patriotism and personal grace.
“The President has taught me the meaning of forgiveness and has helped me better understand what patriotism entails,” he said.
“In short, Christlikeness is demonstrated in him. He is the right man, at the right time, for the right job, and deserves the right hand of fellowship from all Nigerians.”
“May God bless you, Mr President, and may Nigeria prosper as an indivisible entity with peace, prosperity, and progress under your able leadership.”
Omokri also paid tribute to his parents for their role in shaping him.
“I thank my parents, Esijolomi and Omerewumi, who moulded me, as a piece of clay they received from God, into what I am today,” he said.
He similarly praised Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser, describing him as an embodiment of virtue.
“May God bless Malam Nuhu Ribadu. Although I have said this publicly before, let me repeat it today. If it were possible for all the goodness on Earth to be domiciled in a single human being, that person would be Malam,” he said.
Omokri further acknowledged the support of his wife, stating, “Finally, I thank my wife, Hana, my yene konjoo, who has been a pillar by my side and helped settle my mind for the three years that enemies of the President made me their foe because of my unalloyed support for the President and unrelenting loyalty to Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode also took to X to express gratitude to Tinubu for his ambassadorial nomination.
“I thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) for nominating me to be an Ambassador of our great country Nigeria. This is indeed a great honor for which I give God the glory. Thanks be to God,” he said.
