Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for nominating him as one of the thirty two new ambassador designates.
He described the President as Christlike and a leader who taught him the true meaning of forgiveness.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, Omokri thanked God and praised Tinubu for what he called visionary and exemplary leadership. He said he was grateful for the opportunity to serve his fatherland and humanity.
According to him, “The President has taught me the meaning of forgiveness and has helped me better understand what patriotism entails. 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 acknowledged the roles played by his parents, Esijolomi and Omerewumi, in shaping his life. He said they moulded him like a piece of clay God placed in their hands.
He extended special appreciation to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, describing him as a man who embodies exceptional goodness. He wrote that if all goodness on Earth could be placed in one person, that person would be Ribadu.
Omokri further thanked his wife, Hana, whom he called “my yene konjoo.” He said she has been a strong pillar beside him and helped keep him steady during the past three years when, according to him, opponents of the President turned against him because of his loyalty to Tinubu and commitment to Nigeria.
His nomination is among the thirty two ambassadorial names forwarded by President Tinubu to the Senate for confirmation on Saturday.
