The Federal Government has distanced itself from a purported list of ambassadorial nominees currently circulating on social media.
In a Sunday statement, acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa described the list as fake.
The ministry said that President Bola Tinubu has the prerogative of appointing ambassadors, which he has not done.
The ministry urged the public to disregard claims on appointment of ambassadorial nominees as it is devoid of truth.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform the general public to kindly disregard the fake list of ambassadorial nominees, which is currently in circulation on some social media platforms.
“The Ministry wishes to state unequivocally that the appointment of ambassadors is the prerogative of Mr. President, and no such appointments have been made in that regard.
“The purported list should, therefore, be discountenanced,” the statement reads.
