Buhari drops Mamora, Ooni’s brother from new ambassadorial list 

The name of former Speaker of Lagos State House of Asembly, Olorunnimbe Mamora, was conspicuously missing in ‘revised’ list of ambassadorial nominees sent by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Senate on Thursday.

Also dropped from the initial list was the name of brother to Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi, Adegboyega Ogunwusi.
George Oguntade, a retired Supreme Court Judge, and Olorunmimbe Mamora, former Senator, are two of the well-known figures dropped by Mr. Buhari.
