Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, says why he has not yet resumed his post in Mexico — and it isn’t because he was turned away.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, the former presidential aide blamed the timing on the World Cup being hosted by the United States and Mexico. He told viewers that Mexico has not rejected him and that stories saying otherwise are being pushed 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.
