President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday resubmitted a new list of 46 Non-career ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation.
Recall that the Upper House had on November 15, 2016 rejected the initial list of the Non-career ambassadors submitted by the President on October 19, 2016 on the condition that there were so many petitions against those nominated by the Presidency.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs led by Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, had advised the Senate to reject the list and re-forward to the President for resubmission and re-jigging.
One of the major casualty on the revised list is former Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate and Immediate past Deputy Director- General, Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora from Lagos state.
It would be recalled that two out of the prominent politicians on the first list, former National Secretary of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Usman Bugaje and former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Mrs Paullen Tallen, had earlier rejected their nominations.
Others dropped from the new list include, Jamila Ahmadu-Suka (Sokoto); Clifford Zirra (Adamawa); Enyantu Ifenne (Benue); Mohammed Hayatuddeen (Borno) Ayodele Ayodeji (Ekiti) Mohammad Yaro (Kaduna); Sola Iki (Ondo) Adegboyega Ogunwusi (Osun). Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor (Rivers), Mustapha Jaji (Taraba), and Abdullahi Garbasi (Zamfara).
