Ndume Urges Tinubu to Withdraw Ambassadorial Nominees List

Former Senate leader Ndume has called on President Bola Tinubu to withdraw the list of ambassadorial nominees recently sent to the Senate for screening and confirmation. Ndume raised issues of violation of federal character principles enshrined in Nigeria's constitution, citing concerns that the current composition of nominees does not reflect the country's diversity requirements.

He highlighted disparities in the distribution of nominees among states, pointing out the absence of representation for some states like Gombe and Yobe. Ndume emphasized the importance of fair and inclusive nominations to promote national unity and discourage ethnic divisions.
