84-Year-Old Ambassador To US Asked To Retire By Nigerians, For Being Old For The Job


84-year-old Nigerian Ambassador to the U.S, Sylvanus Nsofor asked to resign by Nigerians, after seeing him fidgeting during a walk with the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele at an event in Washington DC.

Recall that the United States once rejected the former Justice, for not being a “dynamic and energetic person”.

His nomination two years ago, as an Ambassador to the U.S also sparked controversy when President Buhari sent his name to the Nigerian Senate.

The man who's claimed to be poor but a man of integrity, earned notoriety during his membership of the Appeal Court panel that decided the election tussle between Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and Olusegun Obasanjo, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was declared winner of the 2003 presidential election.

Of the three justices on the panel, he alone did not endorse the final judgement upholding Obasanjo’s victory.

At least, Buhari get senior and na flatron for that matter

NotComplaining:
..Ageist spotted.

Im sure he will be blaming the youth for the plethora of problems Nigeria is facing while forgetting his decrepit old age is the number 1 problem!

Whatever happened to honorable retirement? Where are his royal regalia?

Nigerias ministries are brimming with men like this.

Who do you think this old fool will assign duties of the state? A young agile mind or a classmate?

There is a major disconnect between Nigeria and the feeble people running it.


Can you imagine the horrah if Buhari selected a young technocrat to replace him?

imagine.....u get mouth o....calling an 84 year old man old fool..........shebi u too go old sha....karma is a bitch

Election are not rigged only when PDP wins abi?
APC rigged the election and PDP won all southeast and south south States abi?

APC rigged states that are it's strong base and PDP also rigged it's strong base.
So,the rigging cancelled each other out.
Stop crying.

He was compensated because he didn't uphold Obasanjo's election victory, what a shameful president

Good of you. The man was at Appeal Court and he gave minority judgement in favour of Buhari while former CJN Mariam Aloma, Oguntade (Nigeria High Commissioner to UK) and Onnoghen gave Surpreme Court minority judgement that favoured Buhari in 2007 presidential election petition against Yaradua/Jonathan

Glaring nepotism on the part of Buhari.

What a disgrace to Nigeria!

Onnoghen also ruled in favour oured Buhari at the supreme court level.

Now Buhari has sent him packing. Nepotism!
