Ambassador-designate to Mexico and former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has responded to Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, after the singer insulted him following criticism of his advocacy for abducted schoolchildren at a FIFA World Cup concert.
In a statement posted on his social media page on Tuesday and addressed to Davido, Omokri expressed surprise at what he described as the “vulgar” language used against him, saying such conduct was unbecoming of an international celebrity.
“Thank you for your feedback. I was rather surprised by your response to my post, setting the record straight on Peter Obi’s false allegations against His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, regarding the repatriation of Nigerian prisoners from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Most shocking is your insult.
“You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you,” Omokri wrote.
