President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded a second batch of 32 ambassadorial nominees to the Senate for confirmation, expanding the list of prospective envoys days after submitting an initial set of three candidates.
In two separate letters addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, President Tinubu requested the expeditious consideration and confirmation of 15 career diplomats and 17 non-career nominees. The new list includes four women among the career cadre and six among the non-career group.
Prominent among the non-career nominees is former Oyo State First Lady, Florence Ajimobi, who joins a list of notable personalities, including former presidential aide Reno Omokri (Delta), former INEC Chairman Professor Mahmud Yakubu, former Ekiti First Lady Erelu Angela Adebayo, and former Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
