The youth wing of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has rejected the nomination of Reno Omokri by President Bola Tinubu, as an ambassadorial nominee.
Ohanaeze said if Nigeria’s security agencies clear Omokri as an ambassador, does it imply his drug -related allegations against Tinubu are substantiated?
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday by the National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Igboayaka Igboayaka, and made available to journalists.
According to the statement, to represent Nigeria in a diplomatic capacity, one must be an individual whose words and statements are credible and factual.
“Clearing Reno Omokri by security agents for ambassadorial post is an indication that his allegations against Bola Tinubu are factual, because according to Reno, Tinubu is a known drug lord.”
“On December 17, 2022, Mr. Reno Omokri took to his social media handle to inform Nigerians, and possibly the country he may be the Nigeria diplomat if he gets clearance, that if anybody can get close enough to Tinubu to take a sample of his hair or urine, this election will be over!
“Because with his hair and urine sample, a laboratory can analyze if he still takes drugs and what type of drugs he takes.

“Tinubu is a known drug lord who belongs in jail, not Aso Rock. I went to Chicago myself and obtained verified documents.
“It will be a shame if this man gets anywhere close to Aso Rock. A nation with a drug lord president is a nation whose passport is automatically suspect.”
“To maintain their credibility, I advise Nigerian security agents during screening to demand that Omokri furnish them with the verified drug documents from Chicago, which he asserted he acquired in 2022.
“If Omokri is to represent Nigeria as a diplomat, it would mean a strong endorsement, institutionalization, and approval of his statements about President Bola Tinubu.
“Furthermore, it entails that we Nigerians will script on our cars that according to Reno Omokri, Bola Tinubu: a known drug lord.
“The Presidency should know that the clearing of Reno Omokri implies and confirms the perception of Nigerians that the Tinubu administration lacks integrity and credibility.
“Reno Omokri’s criticism of the Nigerian government and certain politicians seems to be motivated by personal political gain, rather than a commitment to strengthening democracy in Nigeria,” the statement said.
