Rivers State governor, Mr. Nyesome Wike has joined the list of prominent Nigerians who are appalled by the senate confirmation of retired service chiefs as ambassadors on Tuesday.
Wike took to his official twitter account to express his dismay.
Read the full tweet below:
“Nigerians are disappointed with the National Assembly for confirming sacked Service Chiefs as ambassadors. I wonder why Senators who agreed with Nigerians when they decried the poor performance of the Service Chiefs will sit to cleared them for another appointment.
Let me use this opportunity to express the dismay of most Nigerians to the Senate. Convey this to the Senate. We must be courageous in whatever we are doing. Everything must not be party affairs.
ou (Senators) sat and discussed that they should dismiss the service chiefs. You said they’re not performing. Now the same people who were not performing, you have confirmed them as ambassadors. What kind of country are we?
In anything we do, we must remember that there is tomorrow; our conscience is key. It’s not because I want to be a loyalist to a party. No. There are things you cannot reconcile at all. “
It will be recalled that in spite of protests and petitions, the Nigerian Senate went ahead on Tuesday to confirm ex-service chiefs whose stewardship was considered abysmal as Ambassadors.
