The party was especially displeased with the inclusion of former INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu. It argued that his time at the electoral commission was marked by broken promises and actions that damaged public trust, and said offering him a diplomatic post was troubling.
The PDP warned that ambassadors carry the country’s image abroad and insisted that sending nominees with controversial records could weaken Nigeria’s standing with other nations. It said the integrity of both the President and the envoys plays a direct role in how the world relates with the country.
The party called on the President to withdraw the list and bring forward nominees who have strong democratic records and the moral standing needed to represent Nigeria with pride.
