The Nigerian government under President Tinubu is not looking for perfect individuals to serve as ambassadors, according to political analyst Bwala. He emphasized that the administration values competence and ability to represent Nigeria’s interests abroad over perfection. This statement comes amid debates surrounding the nominations of Reno Omokri and other prominent figures as ambassadors.
Bwala noted that criticisms of the nominated individuals are often exaggerated and politically motivated. He added that diplomacy requires practical skills, knowledge of international relations, and loyalty to Nigeria, rather than an unblemished record. The government, he said, is focused on finding people who can advance Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives effectively.
The ambassadorial nominations have sparked discussions across social media and news platforms, with some questioning the suitability of the nominees. However, Bwala urged the public to give the appointees a chance, highlighting that leadership roles always attract scrutiny, but the key is results and service.
In conclusion, Bwala stressed that no administration can find flawless individuals for sensitive positions. The Tinubu government, he said, is prioritizing capability and commitment to national development in its selections for ambassadorial and diplomatic roles.
