ABUJA—PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, submitted to the Senate for approval name of his former Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Affairs and wife of late Dim Odimegwu Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, as an ambassadorial nominee.
President Jonathan in a letter to Senate President, David Mark, requested that in line with section 171(1) C, sub-section 4 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the Senate should consider a list of thirty-two as non-career and fifty-six as career ambassadorial nominees, adding, “it is my hope that this exercise will receive the usual kind expeditious attention of the Distinguished Members of the Senate of the Federal Republic.”
The appointment of the former most beautiful girl in Nigeria which the President put as belonging to the special category is coming barely a week after her husband, Chief Ojukwu died in a London Hospital.
Also on the list of those submitted to the Senate for consideration as ambassadors were former national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and ex-Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Ojo Madueke for Abia State; the financial secretary of PDP, Alhaji Tukur Mani from Katsina State; permanent secretary of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, Biodun Nathaniel Olorunfemi from Kogi State; and former Minister of Aviation, Mrs Fidelia Akuabata Njeze from Enugu State.
