Lauretta Onochie, a former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for failing to name replacements for the nation’s ambassadors abroad.
Onochie suggested that Tinubu is running Nigeria like a
private WhatsApp group.
Recall that Tinubu
announced the withdrawal of the country’s ambassadors across the globe since
September 2023.
However, over 23 months after Tinubu recalled all Nigerian
ambassadors, no new appointments have been made, leaving the country’s foreign
missions without substantive heads.
Usually, ambassadors represent Nigeria abroad and maintain
diplomatic relations with host countries.
In a post on her X handle on Wednesday, claimed that the
President prefers to relate to St. Lucia and Kazakhstan, where he can be
idolised and worshipped for the right price.
She said: “A strategist who doesn’t know that Nigeria needs
Ambassadors to relate with the rest of the world is running Nigeria like a
private WhatsApp group.
“He prefers to relate to St. Lucia and Kazakhstan, where he
can be idolised and worshipped for the right price.”
