Tensions flared during the ambassadorial screening as former APC National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole and Senator Ali Ndume disagreed over the suitability of Reno Omokri for a diplomatic role. The debate centered on Omokri’s qualifications and past political statements.

Oshiomhole expressed skepticism about Omokri’s appointment, questioning whether he possessed the necessary experience for the ambassadorial position. Ndume, however, defended Omokri, emphasizing his track record and contributions to national discourse.

The disagreement highlighted divisions among lawmakers and political figures during the screening process. Observers noted that the clash drew significant attention, as both Oshiomhole and Ndume are influential voices in Nigerian politics.

Despite the heated exchange, the screening continued, with other candidates being evaluated. The outcome for Omokri’s appointment remains closely watched by political analysts and the public alike.
