The clash between Reno Omokri and a former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, in the United States, Mike Arnold, has worsen after the latter accused the former presidential aide of paying $3,000 for Prime Time appearance on Arise Television.
The American made the allegations in a series of posts he shared on his verified X on Sunday, saying the money was paid to the television crew members.
Recall that Arnold had clashed with Omokri on Arise Television over allegation by some US government officials, including Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, to the effect that there is a genocide against Christians communities in Nigeria.
Senator Cruz and other US lawmakers have sponsored a bill trying to designate Nigeria as a country of “Special Interest” even though the federal government has denied the allegation, insisting that Christians are not the only ones affected by the killings in the country.
Omokri had tried to dismiss the allegation during the Arise Television appearance while Arnold insisted that a systemic genocidal act is being committed against Christians in the country, particularly in the northern part, claiming he had evidence to prove the allegation.
The former Texas Mayor would later attack Omokri describing him as a pathological liar and a hypocrite who is not driven by public good, rather by pecuniary gains, because of the money he’s allegedly paid by those he’s working for in government.
In his latest attack on Omokri on Sunday, the American who is also the founder of Africa Arise International narrated what transpired before and after the Arise Television interview last week.
Arnold: “We had been traveling for 30 hours. Taken straight from the airport directly to the scripted propaganda photo ops with the CAN imposter, then the three imams. And then hustled downstairs to the studio and straight on the air for this live, primetime interview,” Arnold wrote.
“No bathroom break, no drink of water, no moment to catch our breath. I had to beg for just a moment to put on a clean shirt. He actually wanted me wearing my crumpled grubby travel clothes.
“Bad enough my hair was messed up from sleeping on the airplane, and my teeth felt like they were slimy. I’m sure we didn’t smell good either.
“Reno paid for this spot on TV, I was told $3000. Watch it, you see that it was a set up. He was trying to trap me and get me on the record agreeing with him.
“Now here’s what’s going on in this video: the tv studio set has room for two guests. A third must go to an adjacent room.
“The host, and all the staff, assumed that they would do what they always have done, and the actual guests would sit with the host, while the handler would go in the next room.
“Reno demanded that he sit on the main set, in the top guest chair. The host was adamant against that. (It went on much longer than this, and got quite heated. I only thought to record it at the last moment.)
“You can hear the music starting to play. We were about to go live. Reno was prepared to ditch and leave the host hanging, who without option consented at the last moment, extremely upset.
“That’s what you call sleazy.”
Arise Television management has denied the allegation that money was paid for the television appearance on the station.
