Nigeria’s Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki has finally lost appointment as Ambassador-at-large of the
International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) for not meeting up with the
necessary protocols demanded of the office.
In a letter issued and signed by
head of the Nigerian Office, Dr. Friday Sani which was made available in Abuja on Thursday, Dr Saraki was not forthcoming despite several
meetings with officials of the International agency.
The letter further indicated that
the lawmaker had been put on prior notice by the Nigerian Central Office and
Africa of IHRC in which he was properly briefed, regretting that the withdrawal
of nomination became necessary in line with the protocols of the agency.
Part of the letter reads: “In
view of recent event towards perfection of the intended decoration and the
overall interest of the organization in Africa and the world, we hereby
withdraw your nomination as Ambassador-at-large.”
The letter added that the International
Human Rights Commission’s World Secretary-General, Mr. Rafal Marcin Wasik has
been informed of the development.
Recall that web reported last week that
Dr. Bukola Saraki was on the verge of losing the international appointment as
Ambassador-at-large.
To lead a diplomatic mission as
Ambassador-at-large of the IHRC, Saraki would have to be officially decorated
by the Secretary-General of the agency, a development that has been elusive
since the appointment in March, 2019.
