Tinubu’s Ambassadorial Nomination Taught Me True Forgiveness — Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri says President Bola Tinubu’s decision to nominate him as an ambassador-designate has deepened his understanding of forgiveness and national unity.

In a statement shared Sunday on X, Omokri expressed gratitude to God, his family, and President Tinubu, describing the nomination as a profound gesture of leadership aimed at healing and bringing the country together.

“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.

Omokri added that Tinubu’s leadership style has reshaped his views on 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.”

He also prayed for God’s blessings upon the president and for Nigeria’s progress.

Omokri credited his parents for shaping his character, saying: “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 extended heartfelt praise to National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, calling him “a personification of virtue.”

“May God bless Malam Nuhu Ribadu… If it were possible for all the goodness on Earth to be domiciled in a single human being, that person would be Malam,” he wrote.

He further appreciated his wife, describing her as a steady source of strength through challenging political times.

“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.”

In a separate post, former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode also thanked President Tinubu for naming him among the ambassadorial nominees.

“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,” Fani-Kayode wrote.
