The Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has failed to appoint ambassadors due to financial constraints.
He explained that the president is dealing with pressing issues and must prioritise them according to importance.
Speaking during an appearance on Prime Time, an Arise Television programme, on Tuesday, Ibrahim lamented that Nigeria was facing serious financial challenges when the current administration took office.
Naija News reports that in September 2023, Tinubu directed the recall of all career and non-career ambassadors serving in different countries.
Since then, the president is yet to appoint new ambassadors.
However, Ibrahim expressed confidence that the president will soon appoint ambassadors.
According to him, “I’m sure the president will soon appoint ambassadors. Ambassadorial appointments require funding. Nigeria was in a financially dangerous lane when this government came in.
“There are lots of problems on the president’s table. He has to look at top priority, very important issues.
“And if you say the appointment of ambassadors is a top priority that must be solved now, when the embassies are not collapsing and they are still there, you need to get it right.
“So, you have to use money for other things that are of pressing need and save money to get the ambassadors. But that’s not a justification not to have the ambassadors because the ambassadors are very important appointments in the political system.”
