Ambassadorial Appointment: Why I Have Not Yet Returned to Mexico — Reno Omokri

Nigeria’s ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has explained why he has not yet taken up his post in the country.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Omokri said the delay is due to the ongoing World Cup being hosted by the United States and Mexico.

According to the former presidential aide, Mexico has not rejected him, adding that such claims are being manufactured by the opposition.

“Mexico has not rejected me. Not at all. You should understand that Mexico is right now hosting the World Cup, along with the United States of America, and all of their focus is on that.”

“Most of us ambassadors have not resumed. So, I’m not the only one. A lot of my colleagues are in my situation, but it’s okay. These things happen.”

“The opposition will always say things like I have been rejected. We do not work on the basis of the opposition. We work on the basis of reality. The reality of it is that we have countries in the world that respect Nigeria, and they’re going to be taking Nigeria’s envoys,” he said.
