Prominent Human Rights Lawyer, Inibehe Effiomg has criticized the nomination of former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be an ambassador of the country.
He made this known in a post shared in this X handle on Saturday where he expressed his discontentment with the kinds of individuals nominated to represent the country internationally.
He posted “President Tinubu’s Ambassadorial list has reinforced the painful fact that we live in a country that constantly rewards criminality and misdeeds.
“Those who have contributed to Nigeria’s destruction are largely the ones nominated to be the image and voice of our country abroad.
“It is a travesty. The quality of a country’s ambassador is an indication of the country’s direction.
“Most of the names on President Tinubu’s list are career politicians who have failed to deliver in their previous roles, sycophants, and morally challenged individuals.
“I find it particularly upsetting, that the same discredited Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, who supervised a highly disputed and rigged election in 2023, has now been rewarded with an ambassadorial position.
“No country on earth has prospered through a shambolic, corrupt and discredited leadership recruitment process.”
