FG Withdraws Usman Dakingari's Ambassadorial Posting by Islie(op): 9:27am On Jan 23
Hours after announcement, presidency withdraws Dakingari’s posting as Turkey ambassador-designate


The presidency has withdrawn the posting of Usman Dakingari, former Kebbi governor, as ambassador-designate to Turkey, barely 24 hours after announcing ambassadorial postings.

Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, issued a statement Thursday night confirming President Bola Tinubu’s approval of the posting of four ambassadors-designate out of the over 60 nominees confirmed last December.

Kayode Are, former director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), was appointed Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to the United States.

Ayodele Oke, former director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), was posted to France; Amin Dalhatu, former ambassador to South Korea, was appointed high commissioner-designate to the United Kingdom; while Dakingari was made ambassador-designate to Turkey.


Dakingari’s appointment came ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s scheduled state visit to Turkey next week.

But in a statement released Friday by the State House, Onanuga said no ambassador has been appointed to Turkey.

The statement reiterated the postings of Are, Oke, and Dalhatu, and omitted Dakingari’s now-rescinded appointment.

The presidency did not give a reason for the change.

Onanuga said Tinubu has written a memo to the ministry of foreign affairs to notify the governments of the three countries about the ambassadors-designate, in accordance with diplomatic procedures.

Trial and error presidency. Imagine the diplomatic shame and embarrassment this would be causing Nigeria before that nation. Very clueless set of fellas in government.

His name was probably sneaked in by Gbaja or other slithering snakes around the presidency, after collecting "roja" of course. Tinubu's cabinet is the most lacklustre and uninspiring ever. Tinubu is travelling to Turkey by the weekend so he's appointing an Ambassador to Turkey. Nigeria is being ran on one man's whims and caprice.

Re: FG Withdraws Usman Dakingari's Ambassadorial Posting by SixSeven:
Never in the life of the Presidency have we seen so many reversals like this government's uncoordinated job. We thought we had seen it all under Buhari but if you observe, you will know what this means. Who is really in charge and who is taking advantage of the president's absence and not being hands on deck at the villahuh

Those who know are going to run the Presidency on behalf of the President who has personal issues to attend to. That's why you see the reversals because upon second check, the man in charge asks, who approved this? Did I approve this? This is the result of working with sycophants and yes men, they will drag you down in their own self interests. Just two days ago, the APC chairman said they don't want technocrats in government, they want loyal party men 🤡

I am happy we have voted APC, at least we can see their best is worse than that which they condemned when they didn't have power. What a shame. What a total disgrace APC has been in the Presidency. Total disgrace. From Buhari to Tinubu, they have undressed the veil of the Presidency and its worth.

In the former SGF's words, who is the Presidencyhuh

You can only bark online and that's where your barking ends.

No person, group of persons or force in Nigeria can remove Jagaban from Ask Rock villa and Peter Gbajue Obi dindinrin will never be president of Nigeria.

Gone are the days when the FG reports or releases where second to God's commandments. Under thus tinubu and his style it's always trial and error, the FG releases now can't be relied upon even when it comes from one of his overbloated media handlers. This is what you get with a clueless president and incompetent aides.
