Ambassadorial List In Circulation Is Fake, Says FG

By Bukar BOLORI

The Federal Government has described the ambassadorial nominees list presently published on the social media as fake, insisting that no such list has been approved by President Bola Tinubu.

A statement on Sunday by the acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa read that the appointment of ambassadors remains the prerogative of Mr. President.

The statement read: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform the general public to kindly disregard the fake list of Ambassadorial nominees, which is currently in circulation on some social media platforms.

“The Ministry wishes to state unequivocally that the apointment of Ambassadors is the perogative of Mr. President and no such appointments have been made in that regard.

“The purported list should, therefore, be discountenanced.”

Nigerians have continued to await the appointment of ambassadors to foreign missions after the president recalled all Nigerian ambassadors back to the country sometimes last year.
