It's sort of a multi-prong thing.
On one hand/hoof, his status as a muckracker means he would be a profoundly destabilizing force in the NLR. They're trying to smooth over the cultural lines of their recruits and immigrants (american poor to poverty level all over, african refugees from the various wars and terrorist actions there the NLR will spend most of its foriegn policy trying to tamp out and launch a proper renessance on the continent, asian immigrants, general down-on-luck looking for a steady job and a better life for their family) and a muckracker could easily turn a volitle but currently stable situation into a pretty major issue.
Two, given that all the ponies are at least a little Mad (cutie mark focus when they have them), having a guy like him screaming it from the heavens and making up some story up about it would cause major problems within and without for the NLR. After the chaos of the professor, they don't need the convention or anyone else having any reason or leverage to get a control on what they do in. They would rather keep OGJ as far away from them as possible, since the group's leader is almost as bad as the Professor.
Three, 'don't start none, won't be none'. That, and R.Celestia just acting from experience on preventing a particularly ulcer-inducing individual from showing up. A lot of people are told 'no, go away' rather than having to put up with particularly prickly, annoying, or problematic guests, and the NLR tries to be relatively isolationist from convention and world affairs other than their african concerns.
