Aide to President Tinubu, Oshodi, has commented on the recent controversial decisions by former US President Donald Trump and the British government in relation to the ambassadorial list. He acknowledged the global attention these decisions have attracted.

Oshodi explained that the ambassadorial appointments were made after careful consideration of national interest and diplomatic relations. He stressed that the decisions were based on competence and experience rather than political pressure.

He also highlighted that controversies surrounding the list are common in international diplomacy, noting that other countries, including the US and the UK, have made similar contentious appointments in the past.

The aide urged the public to focus on the benefits these ambassadorial appointments could bring to Nigeria, emphasizing that the government remains committed to strengthening foreign relations and protecting Nigeria’s diplomatic interests.
