Foreign Ministry Clears Air Over Fake Ambassadorial Nominee List

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has refuted the circulating claims of a list of ambassadorial nominees, calling it false and urging the public to disregard it.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the ministry, through its acting spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, clarified that the appointment of ambassadors is solely the responsibility of the President.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform the general public to kindly disregard the fake list of Ambassadorial nominees, which is currently in circulation on some social media platforms.

“The Ministry wishes to state unequivocally that the appointment of Ambassadors is the prerogative of Mr. President, and no such appointments have been made in that regard. The purported list should, therefore, be discountenanced,” the statement said.

This clarification follows growing concerns and confusion regarding the legitimacy of the ambassadorial list.
