As Daniel Bwala celebrates his new role as President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, social media is abuzz with questions about when Reno Omokri might also receive a government appointment.
Bwala’s appointment has sparked conversations, with many Nigerians wondering if Omokri—who has consistently advocated for President Tinubu and with his support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)—could be next in line.
The speculation reflects a broader expectation among political observers who note that several key PDP and Labour Party (LP) defectors, including Bwala have recently been rewarded with appointments in Tinubu’s administration. However, Reno Omokri, along with other high-profile allies like Femi Fani-Kayode and Doyin Okupe, remains on the list of notable figures yet to be rewarded for their loyalty and vocal support.
On social media, Omokri’s followers have expressed strong belief that he could soon secure a prominent role, given his vocal advocacy and support for the administration. Fans of Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, have taken to platforms like X and Instagram to make their case, stating that his consistent support for the APC deserves official recognition.
With the public interest intensifying, many wonder if Omokri could soon join the list of appointees representing Tinubu’s trusted allies in government, marking a new chapter in his political journey.
