Mike Arnold, the former Mayor of Blanco, Texas, and founder of Africa Arise International, has revealed the many alleged lies reportedly told by former presidential aide Reno Omokri.

This was after both of them sparred concerning the claims of an ongoing Christian genocide in Nigeria, which Omokri described as false.

In a statement on X, Arnold revealed that he and Omokri used to be close to the point that "he stayed at my home in Texas. Most recently, he hosted me in Abuja."

Discrediting Omokri, Arnold said he 'doesn’t lie like most liars. He lies calm, cool, and constant. Up close, he’s reptilian. Chilling. Soulless. Yet so charming."

He revealed how Omokri once posted a video flaunting luxury cars, claiming they were his.

"Two belonged to a friend of mine. Reno visited, rode in them, filmed them, and claimed ownership. A total fabrication. I stayed quiet then but started watching closely," he said.

He said on his recent fact-finding trip about Nigeria’s persecution crisis, Omokri promised meetings with Tinubu, NSA Ribadu, and the Sultan of Sokoto. "None happened. Looking back, those promises were props for his narrative—for clout and manipulation," he said.

"(At his birthday last year, big names showed up expecting Goodluck Jonathan. That was a lie. They left fast, dodging his shameless PR stunt. They thanked me for showing them the quickest escape route on a map.)

"In Abuja, after 30 hours of travel, Reno pulled me into a photo-op with the compromised CAN chairman. I barely got 60 seconds to change my shirt. He whispered, “Don’t mention you just arrived.” In the meeting, he implied we’d been there longer. He took credit for trips I’ve funded, planned, and endured over six years — presenting it as part of the “fact-finding mission” that he had organised. He repeated this with the next group.

"On live TV, he called me the current mayor of Blanco, Texas. False. He knows it. He also said I’m a Republican mayor—we don’t even have partisan municipal elections. I haven’t been active in any party for 30 years. He claimed I’m a personal friend of Ted Cruz. Also false. I shook Cruz’s hand in a receiving line a decade ago. That’s it.

"He introduced my travel companion as a prominent Republican filmmaker. Not true. My friend does hobby projects, nothing major in decades. I don’t know what party he favors," he said.

He further stated that any time Omokri's lips move, he emits lies.

"Lying to inflate yourself is one thing. Lying to cover up the Christian genocide raging in Nigeria is a bridge too far.

"People must know Reno Omokri is a pathological, habitual, calculating, self-serving liar—from someone who knows him personally—so they won’t trust his sleazy attempts to bury the blood of tens of thousands of Nigerian martyrs with the manure spewing from his mouth. It’s hard to fathom. I’ve never seen anything so stone-cold evil.

"If he doesn’t repent, Omokri will go down as Nigeria’s Joseph Goebbels, cast into the lake of eternal fire.

"He’s gaslighting a nation while Christians and innocent Nigerians suffer.

"Reno Omokri has the blood of innocents on his lying tongue. He doesn’t care. What’s an ocean of martyrs’ blood to him, so long as he secures the phantom appointment Tinubu dangles before him? I’m convinced he sees the victims as lesser humans. A pure sociopath.

"Most Nigerians view him as a perpetually flip-flopping court jester. But wth his latest flip into the killing fields, he is now more like Stephen King‘s IT - an evil clown, in the gutter, luring innocent people to their death.

"Reno claims he keeps meticulous records. So do I. This could get fun.

"By the way, his grand plan is to run for vice president under NSA Ribadu.

"I almost hope it happens. Nigerians worldwide—from the highest to the lowest—revile him as a self-deluded tool. An emasculated, narcissistic peacock. Peter Obi’s used toilet paper would poll better. Even soggy, it has more integrity.

"But if you’re a Nigerian reading this, you probably already knew that," he concluded.
