The Federal Government has described the ambassadorial nominees list currently published on social media as fake, insisting that President Bola Tinubu has not approved such a list.
A statement on Sunday by Kimiebi Ebienfa, the acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, read that the appointment of ambassadors remains the prerogative of the 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 appointment of Ambassadors is the prerogative 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 sometime last year.
