President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded a fresh list of nominees for non-career ambassadorial positions, naming several high-profile figures, including the immediate past Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas.
Ibas, a former Chief of Naval Staff, leads the latest batch of nominees sent to the Senate for screening. Joining him on the list are former lawmaker and presidential aide, Senator Ita Enang; Chioma Ohakim, former First Lady of Imo State; and Abdulrahman Dambazau, a retired Lieutenant General who served both as Minister of Interior and Chief of Army Staff.
The new nominations come less than a week after the President transmitted another set of ambassadorial nominees, featuring prominent personalities such as social commentator Reno Omokri and former INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu.
The release of nomination lists has triggered mixed reactions nationwide, with critics questioning the criteria, timing, and perceived political undertone behind some selections. Supporters, however, argue that the appointments reflect the President’s intention to assemble a team of experienced Nigerians to represent the nation across the globe.
As the Senate prepares to commence screening, political analysts expect stronger debates on the growing number of ambassadorial appointments and the roles these nominees are expected to play in advancing Nigeria’s diplomatic interests.
