A recent exchange highlights a discussion around political appointments and past statements. In a clip shared by Nigerian Affairs Journal, host Seun Kuti questioned political commentator Reno Omokri regarding his stance on accepting appointments from the current government. Omokri clarified his previous remarks, stating his refusal was based on a hypothetical scenario and the principle that it was “not in my DNA.” Kuti then pressed further, asking if Omokri’s “DNA” had since changed, implying a potential shift in his position. The brief but pointed exchange underscores the scrutiny public figures face regarding their public declarations and perceived consistency.
Seun: You told me in an interview that you were not going to take an appointment from this government.
Reno Omokri: That's not what I said. You asked me a question that if Tinubu ask me to work with, and I said I would not because it's not in my DNA.
Seun: Has your DNA changed… pic.twitter.com/DIaANmWUS0
