Delayed Nominations Blamed For Diplomatic Vacuum
Fresh concerns have emerged over the ambassadorial nominees submitted by President Bola Tinubu, as several host countries may reject or delay approval due to the short time left in the current administration.
Presidency insiders and high-ranking officials in the foreign service disclosed to Sunday Punch that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently battling to secure agrément, the required approval by receiving states, for the nominees, a process now complicated by the 2027 election calendar.
