The Peoples Democratic Party criticized the list of 32 ambassadorial nominees for integrity concerns and demanded withdrawal, highlighting risks to Nigeria's diplomatic reputation.
- On Saturday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sent the names of 32 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, Bayo Onanuga disclosed in a statement.
- The main opposition Peoples Democratic Party demanded withdrawal of the ambassadorial list, saying it is populated by people with an 'integrity deficit' and described many nominees as 'disgraced propagandists' widely perceived negatively by Nigerians and the global community.
- Highlighting timing, PDP said the list took almost three years to produce and singled out Professor Mahmood Yakubu, citing his tenure's 'double-speaks, flip-flops, and undelivered promises.', Ememobong said on Saturday.
- The Peoples Democratic Party warned that international respect depends on the integrity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ambassadors, arguing tainted appointments risk a diplomatic 'all-time low' and called it reprehensible and scandalous.
- PDP suspects the nominations are intended to incentivise electoral outcomes, with Ememobong alleging they could induce Prof Joash Amupitan to deliver flawed 2027 elections, and said Nigerians are appalled yet unsurprised.
