Breaking: Senate Rejects Buhari’s 46 Ambassadorial Nominees (See FULL LIST)

The hope of President Muhammadu Buhari to have his 46 non-career ambassadorial nominees approved has been dashed as the Senate on Tuesday rejected to approve the list.
Buhari will be sent back the list “for resubmission and re-jigging”.
Some notable nominees are retired Justices of the Supreme Court, Justice George Oguntade; former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Mrs. Paulen Tallen; former member of the House of Representatives, Usman Bugaje; and former Deputy Governor of Niger State, Ahmed Ibeto.
