Reno Omokri, Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, says he has not yet resumed his posting and explains the delay publicly. In interviews reported by Nigerian media, Omokri links his delayed resumption to the period of the World Cup hosted by the United States and Mexico, saying the ongoing tournament is affecting normal arrangements for diplomatic activities.
He also argues that diplomatic practice supports his situation: he says countries that maintain relations with Nigeria respect Nigeria’s process and will receive its accredited representatives when they are able to resume duties. The reports describe Omokri speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he addressed questions about the timeline for taking up his appointment.
The two outlets present the same core points—Omokri has not resumed yet, he attributes the delay to the World Cup period, and he maintains that accreditation and access will follow established diplomatic procedures. Neither source provides specific official dates for when he will take up his duties in Mexico.
