A former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, United States, Mike Arnold, has condemned the inclusion of former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, in President Bola Tinubu’s ambassadorial nominees list.

Icelynbright247blog reports that the President submitted 32 new ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation on Saturday.

Reacting to the development via a Facebook post, Arnold, who has repeatedly accused Omokri of trivialising persecution in Nigeria, stated that he should not be on the list.

He accused Tinubu of being tone-deaf for appointing individuals such as Omokri and former Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.

The former mayor claimed that the President prioritised loyalty over competence.

Arnold further claimed the development sends a negative message to young Nigerians about the values needed to progress in the country.

He said, “With his recently announced ambassadorial appointments, Tinubu again proves not only to be tone deaf, but deaf, dumb and blind. The world is watching. Appointing Omokri and FFK reveals that he values money-grubbing, boot-licking, genocide-denying sycophants who flip-flop on issues of substance on command over those who show even a shred of competence or integrity.

He’s further confirming himself to be a corrupt dictator who doesn’t care one bit about the unity of Nigeria or her everyday citizens. 

Even worse, what does this shameful tit-for-tat rewarding of slimy actors tell Nigerian children? It tells them that to advance in Nigeria today, the first step is to sell your soul and abandon any hint of honour. This is truly shameful.

“If anyone doubted that Nigeria is a disgraced, corrupt nation, today’s appointments prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt
