Yes. He too had his faults. He was the author of do or die in our politics and we had assassinations around that time.

There is no one who won't have criticism but this one is too obvious. Obvious that it is padi padi government but this is Nigeria. If I blame PDP for anything, I don't blame them for knowing how to manage the diversity of Nigeria. APC as a party lacks that.

wman:
So Reno Omokri asslicked his way into an ambassadorial position.

Wonders shall never end.

Yakubu Mahmood is the only unusual name on the list. All others are not unexpected. Even if it is just for the right optics, Mahmood himself should have turned down the appointment. Good list overall.

Orlandoo:
I trust FFK to be more brutal since his name isn't there.

Mahmood Yakubu is it a reward of incompetence or willful tampering with electoral process?

Now I see why Reno Omokri suddenly relocated to Nigeria to dey run mouth... Lol

Non carrier ambassador...

I detest this recycling of old use as if there are no new and better people out here...

jchioma:
Oh boy! Like playful runouts, it’s clear the rumors were indeed true. He’s finally been rewarded for his propaganda works.

List:
•Nominees include Reno Omokri

Even FFK made it.

Ehya! I was expecting to see names of our popular resident “patrio.ts” but alas perhaps they are just laptop boys.

ebukal67x:
Reno Omokri is a worthy nomination.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sent the names of 32 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, days after he sent the first batch of three names.

In two separate letters to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, President Tinubu asked the Senate to consider and confirm expeditiously 15 nominees as career ambassadors and 17 nominees as non-career ambassadors.

There are four women on the career ambassadors' list and six women on the non-career ambassadors' list.

Among the non-career ambassador designates are Barrister Ogbonnaya Kalu from Abia, a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri (Delta), former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmud Yakubu, former Ekiti first lady, Erelu Angela Adebayo, and former Enugu Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Others are Tasiu Musa Maigari, the former speaker of the Katsina House of Assembly, Yakubu N. Gambo, a former Commissioner in Plateau State and former deputy executive secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).

Professor Nora Ladi Daduut, a former senator from Plateau; Otunba Femi Pedro, a former deputy governor of Lagos State; Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a former aviation minister from Osun State; and Barrister Nkechi Linda Ufochukwu from Anambra State are on the nomination list.

Also on the list are former First Lady of Oyo, Fatima Florence Ajimobi, former Lagos Commissioner, Lola Akande, former Adamawa Senator, Grace Bent, former governor of Abia, Victor Okezie Ikpeazu, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, businessman, lawyer and Senator from Ondo State, and the former ambassador of Nigeria to the Holy See, Ambassador Paul Oga Adikwu from Benue State.

Among the nominees for career ambassador and high commissioner-designates are: Enebechi Monica Okwuchukwu (Abia), Yakubu Nyaku Danladi(Taraba), Miamuna Ibrahim Besto(Adamawa), Musa Musa Abubakar (Kebbi), Syndoph Paebi Endoni(Bayelsa), Chima Geoffrey Lioma David(Ebonyi) and Mopelola Adeola-Ibrahim (Ogun).

The new nominees are expected to be posted to countries with which Nigeria maintains excellent and strategic bilateral relations, such as China, India, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, South Africa, Kenya, and to Permanent Missions such as the United Nations, UNESCO, and the African Union. All the nominees will know their diplomatic assignments after their confirmation by the Senate.

Last week, President Tinubu sent three ambassadorial nominees for screening and confirmation. The nominees were Ambassador Ayodele Oke (Oyo), Ambassador Amin Mohammed Dalhatu (Jigawa), and Retired Colonel Lateef Kayode Are (Ogun). All three are in the pot for posting to the UK, USA, or France after their confirmation.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said more nominees for ambassadorial positions will be announced soon.

Ambassador Fergie hope you will represent Nigeria well?

mascot87:
That is none of your business dude.

INEC murdered 2023 election and rewarding will only provoke the suffering masses to act decisively

fergie001:
Just immediate past INEC Chairman on appointment list
Kai.... I am weak! Haba/

I decline the appointment. I want to run for Governor

Hedonisco:
It's disgusting and embarrassing to be honest. The way the APC has gone so low is shocking.

Same way Buhari rewarded characters like Buratai with ambassadorship after an atrocious spell as COAS, and now an INEC Chairman is 'rewarded' with an ambassadorial posting after almost a decade in office. Who does that?

We can't continue with this useless administration. Whether Trump, Putin, natural causes, spiritual forces, or even mutinous elements..... Something has to intervene to rescue this country.

Why una dey punish Ortom like this na?
The other day dem push am comot from party office, now him no enter amba list, meanwhile his cohorts dem dey list....
