President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is reportedly set to appoint prominent political figures, including Femi Fani-Kayode, Reno Omokri, and Shehu Sani, as ambassadors. This information was disclosed by Jackson Ude, a US-based investigative journalist known for breaking political developments in Nigeria. In a social media post, Ude hinted that the ambassadorial list would be made public soon.
“Ambassador F. Kayode, Ambassador S. Sani, Ambassador R. Omokri. And the list goes on and on, waiting for unveiling soon,” he wrote.
While the presidency has yet to confirm the appointments, the potential selection of these figures—each known for their strong political stances and public engagements—has generated mixed reactions.
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister and a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is a vocal supporter of President Tinubu.
Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is recognized for his consistent criticism of the current administration, raising questions about his inclusion.
Shehu Sani, a former senator and human rights activist, is another notable name on the list, known for his independent views and advocacy.
As Nigerians await the official announcement, the news continues to fuel debates about the direction of Tinubu’s foreign policy agenda and the implications of these high-profile appointments.
