The Federal Government has described the ambassadorial nominees list doing the rounds on 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, said that the appointment of ambassadors remained 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 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 to the country sometime last year.
