President Tinubu Recalls All Nigerian Ambassadors In Major Diplomatic Shakeup

Published

on

President Bola Tinubu has recalled all ambassadors, both career and non-career. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, stated this through his media aide, Alkasim Abdulkadir, on Saturday.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari had in July 2020 appointed 41 non-career ambassadors and 42 career ambassadors to man the nation’s foreign diplomatic missions.

The diplomats were deployed after they were confirmed by the Senate in accordance with section 171(2)(1c) and Subsection 4 of the 1999 Constitution.

The statement confirming the recall of the ambassadors states: “Sequel to the inquiries on the letter recalling the Nigerian ambassador to the UK, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has clarified that all career ambassadors and non-career ambassadors have been recalled on the instructions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Ambassadors as representatives of the country serve at the behest of the President and it’s his prerogative to send or recall them from any country.”

The clarification became necessary over the recall of Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sarafa Ishola.

“By this communication, you are now expected to commence the propose of winding down your affairs, and take formal leave of your host government within sixty days and to return to Nigeria by 31st October, 2023 at the latest.

“I seize this opportunity to express Mr. President’s appreciation for the service you have rendered in your capacity as Nigeria’s Ambassador and Principal Representative in United Kingdom.
