The interviewer reminded him of his past remarks, pointing out that he had earlier suggested such involvement would go against his principles, and asked whether his new position contradicted those statements.
Omokri responded that his position had not changed, clarifying that while he could not accept certain roles because of things he had said in the past, he never stated that he would refuse to work for Nigeria.
Reacting to the interview, Isaac Fayose questioned the distinction Omokri made between serving Nigeria and working under the president, describing him as a clown.
He argued that declining to openly identify with the president while accepting an appointment within the administration shows a lack of integrity, portraying Omokri’s explanation as contradictory.
In the video, Isaac Fayose said:
“Abeg, what’s the difference between working for Nigeria and working for President Tinubu? This guy must be a clown. You are not proud to work with someone but you’re proud to work for Nigeria. Abeg, hear yourself.”
He added:
“This guy is a clown. He doesn’t have any integrity. You want to work for someone you are not proud of. Eh! Reno! Reno!! Reno!!!. Aha shame on him. You’re not pride of the man but you want the job. You want the job.”
