Businessman Isaac Fayose has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s newly released ambassadorial list, calling many of the nominees “padi-padi” appointments lacking competence and credibility. In a strongly worded video, Fayose questioned the value some nominees would bring to Nigeria’s global representation, singling out Reno Omokri whom he described as lacking tangible business achievements and functioning merely as a political praise-singer.
Fayose also attacked former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, accusing him of mismanaging huge funds and failing to deliver credible elections. He warned that Nigeria’s governance standards are declining if such selections continue.
The businessman stressed that character, not wealth or political alignment, should determine national appointments. He urged Reno Omokri and supporters of Peter Obi to move on and insisted that integrity remains more important than financial influence. Fayose concluded with a jab, saying Reno’s “job has finally paid off.”
He said …
“President Tinubu, ambassadorial list, majority of them are padi-padi. They are not going to add value. What will Reno Omokri do? Reno Omokri that does not have any company, his job is to be, what do you say, town crier. Praising nonsense. That is his job. Or is it Mahmood that rigged our election, that got 359 billion to conduct credible, free and fair election, but he did otherwise? Look at the people that are going to represent us abroad. You know that Nigeria is going, going gone. I don’t respect people with stolen wealth. I respect people with good character. It’s better to be poor and have a good name than to be rich. And everybody is looking at you like, oh, I won’t let Uncle Roger. Yeah, come on. There is no, come on. One plus one is two. It’s not twenty, it’s not eleven. Yeah. He’s not 11. Now, will you leave Peter Obi alone? Abii? Shebi, they don’t compensate you for all your job. So now, make them send you go Somalia. So leave Tinubu alone. Abii? I say leave Tinubu alone. Leave Peter Obe alone. Ni, I don’t expect people big man with money. Some people pray that their brother be governor. No, I don’t pray. When I come back to this world, I don’t even pray for that. I pray for someone with good character. You know, that doesn’t mean I don’t love my brother. I just stand for what is good. I don’t stand for caricature. How much food will I eat? My children, they look at me and they say, Daddy, we are proud of you because you haven’t soiled your hand. You know? And some children are saying we are going to inherit plenty houses. Ooh, Nigerians know where the houses are coming from. Oh, come on, you can deceive yourself, but you can’t deceive the people, and you can’t deceive poor. If they are ailing you today, they are only ailing you because of what is in your pocket, not because you are a good ambassador. Eh, Reno Omokri, congratulations. Eh, your job don’t pay now. Maga don pay. Shout hallelujah. Eh. Thank you.”
