Public Communication to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar: Phrank Shaibu has been appointed as African Union Ambassador.
The Media Adviser to Atiku, Paul Ibe, disclosed this in a statement to Nigerian Newssphere on Wednesday after his induction into the Governing Council of the Pan African AU Agenda 2063.
According to the letter, Shaibu’s nomination is in recognition of his “outstanding excellence as an educationist, administrator, academic, and businessman.”
“After a distinguished review of your exemplary contributions to national development and your invaluable service under various political leaders in Nigeria, it is with profound honor that we hereby convey your nomination into the advisory council of the Pan-African AU Agenda 2063 Diplomatic Mission.
“In addition, the Governing Council is pleased to further nominate you to serve as an Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the Mission—a role reserved for exceptional leaders whose influence, intellect, and integrity embody the spirit of the African Union Agenda 2063.”
This comes barely two days after Shaibu clashed online with Bayo Onanuga, the spokesperson for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
