Reno Omokri rejects Atiku spokesperson gig, eyes Tinubu envoy slot

Reno Omokri turned away a job offer from Atiku Abubakar during the last election cycle. The former presidential aide refused to work as a spokesman for the ex-Vice President. Omokri explained that he prefers speaking for actual presidents rather than people running for office. He had already helped Atiku build his media team earlier. Omokri personally brought Segun Showunmi onto the campaign and handled his hiring process.

The political consultant previously worked for Goodluck Jonathan when he served as president. These days Omokri supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his policies. He regularly attacks opposition leaders like Peter Obi from the Labour Party. His criticism targets anyone who speaks against the current government. Many people notice how Omokri has switched sides from his earlier political positions.

President Tinubu appears ready to reward Omokri for his loyalty and support. Reports suggest that Omokri made it onto a special list for ambassador jobs. The Senate will screen him along with other candidates for diplomatic posts. This appointment would give Omokri an official role representing Nigeria abroad. His political journey shows how former opposition figures can join the ruling party when opportunities arise.
