‘I can’t appoint just anybody’ – Tinubu explains difficulty in releasing ambassadorial list
President Bola Tinubu has revealed the difficulty and delay in appointing Nigerian ambassadors.
Tinubu said he can’t appoint just anybody, hence the difficulty in releasing the list.
Stressing that he still has some ambassadorial slots, Tinubu appreciated Nigerians for their patience.
In a video, the president said he needs to cure the state economy and bring hope to Nigerians before unveiling his ambassadors.
“I couldn’t appoint everybody that I could have appointed, thank you for your patience till now. I still have some slots for ambassadorial positions that too many people are craving for, but it’s not easy stitching together those names.
“First of all, cure the economy, bring hope to the people as that is what we stop for and that hope is here, thank you for believing in me,” he said.
The last set of Nigerian ambassadors were appointed during the past administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Since Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, he is yet to appoint ambassadors despite mounting pressure from Nigerians.
