Screening of Ambassadorial Nominees on hold as Senate House summons Foreign Affairs Ministers

The Senate on Wednesday has put on hold much expected confirmatin of the 47 ambassadorial nominees forwarded to it by President Muhammadu Buhari last week.

At the plenary, Senate President, Bukola Saraki revealed that his office has been inundated with petitions regarding those states that were not captured in the list submitted by Buhari to the Senate.

According to him, the situation has put him under pressure, while stressing that the solution was to ensure that those states that were not represented be given their own opportunity before screening begins.
