The Nigerian Senate on Thursday asked former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, and former Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, to take a bow and go during their ambassadorial screening.
Nigerian Newssphere earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu’s ambassadorial nominees had arrived at the National Assembly ahead of the exercise. Among those sighted were former presidential spokesperson Reno Omokri and former Enugu State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Their screening comes amid renewed calls from former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, urging President Tinubu to withdraw the list. Ndume argued that the current composition of the nominees breaches the Federal Character principle as required by the Nigerian Constitution.
