Mike Arnold, who used to run Blanco as mayor, went off on Tinubu for putting Reno Omokri on the ambassador shortlist. The Texas politician has beef with Omokri going back years over claims he downplays Christian persecution back home. Arnold dropped a Facebook rant calling the president deaf, dumb, and blind for picking people like Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode.
Tinubu sent 32 ambassador picks to the Senate for approval, splitting them between 15 career diplomats and 17 non-career people. Arnold basically said the selections prove Nigeria rewards sellouts who flip positions for money instead of competent people with integrity. He thinks the message tells Nigerian kids they need to ditch their morals to get ahead, and the whole thing confirms the country runs on corruption.
