Reno Omokri

Bemigho Reno Omokri, (born 1974), described by BBC News as a 'high-profile broadcaster', is the host of Transformations With Reno Omokri, a Christian teaching TV show broadcast (for one season) on San Francisco's KTLN and Detroit's Impact Network and author of the books, Shunpiking: No Shortcuts to God, Why Jesus Wept, and Apples of Gold (a book of Godly wisdom), who until May 29, 2015 was a spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria. He was one of three spokesmen to the former Nigerian President and is credited with pioneering the use of social media for political purposes in Nigeria. He is a columnist with ThisDay newspapers and the founder of the Mind of Christ Christian Center and the Helen and Bemigho Sanctuary for Orphans. He is the only one of those three spokesmen who continues to function in that role on behalf of former President Jonathan after his departure from office.

Omokri was Vice President, Africa, at Joe Trippi and Associates, a U.S Political Consulting firm.

As Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, he was noted for using social media to conduct surveys and project the developments undertaken by the Nigerian Government.

He is the founder of a multimedia project, Build Up Nigeria, and has produced a series of short films in the U.S. He has a LL.M from the University of Wolverhampton.

Omokri was a signatory of a letter by a group of eminent Nigerians (G 57) that called for the resignation of President Umaru Musa Yar'adua after he was evacuated from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia on November 23, 2009, for a medical emergency without handing over executive powers to his vice, Jonathan, and in 2011 he led some Diaspora Nigerians to endorse Jonathan for the 2011 elections.

In 2013, Omokri represented President Jonathan at a national conference on ‘Inter-Faith Dialogue and the Quest for National Security in Nigeria', organized by the Interfaith Activities and Partnership for Peace, IFAPP. Speaking for the President, Omokri urged Christian and Muslim leaders to focus on Jesus as the common Denominator between their two faiths, and caused a stir when he stated on camera that The Quran mentions Jesus by name 25 times, which is five times more than The Quran mentions Mohammed. He also stated that almost every prophet in Judaism and Christianity is accepted in Islam.
