President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been applauded by the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for nominating a former presidential aide, Mr Reno Omokri, as an ambassador-designate.
“Omokri’s nomination speaks volumes about President Tinubu’s commitment to merit, national inclusion and the recognition of individuals who have shown unwavering passion for the advancement of Nigeria,” the party stated in a congratulatory message by the chapter Chairman, Mr Omeni Sobotie, yesterday.
It commended the President for identifying and elevating the Delta-born technocrat and advocate whose voice and intellectual rigour, it stated, contributed to shaping national conversations over the years.
The party stated that the nomination was a national recognition that had brought immense pride to the state and the nominee’s family.
Congratulating Omokri, the APC said the nomination recognised his intellectual contributions, his longstanding engagement in policy discourse, and extensive international exposure, which consistently demonstrated his capacity to serve Nigeria at the highest levels.
“As a political party committed to promoting excellence, competence and patriotic service, Delta APC is delighted to celebrate yet another proud son of our beloved State who has distinguished himself with honour and integrity on the national and global stage,” the party stated.
It emphasised that it viewed the nomination as a shining example of the possibilities that lie ahead of Deltans, who continue to excel across diverse professional fields.

The APC expressed confidence in Omokri’s capacity to carry out his assignment competently and diligently.
“We are confident that he will not only excel in this diplomatic role but will also serve as a bridge-builder, an image-bearer of Nigeria’s potential and a worthy representative of Delta State,” it said.
According to the APC, “Mr Omokri’s global footprint – spanning public service, advocacy, media, humanitarian work and diplomacy – positions him uniquely to project Nigeria’s values, deepen bilateral relations and promote our national interests with distinction.”
The party urged the ambassador-designate to continue to embody the virtues of diligence, humility and patriotism that characterised his journey thus far.
The APC urged all its members in the state to pray for Omokri’s success.
