Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has explained why he has yet to assume duties in his country of posting, attributing the delay to ongoing activities related to the World Cup being jointly hosted by Mexico and the United States.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Omokri dismissed claims that the Mexican government had rejected him, describing such reports as opposition-driven narratives with no basis in reality.
According to the former presidential aide, Mexico is currently preoccupied with preparations and commitments associated with the global football tournament, which has affected diplomatic processes, including the reception of foreign envoys.
