The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed a fake list of ambassadorial nominees circulating on social media, urging the public to disregard it.
In a statement on Sunday, the ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, clarified that no ambassadorial appointments have been made and reaffirmed that such appointments are the sole prerogative of the President.
The statement read, “The purported list is fake and should be discountenanced. Appointments of ambassadors remain under the exclusive authority of Mr. President, and no such appointments have been announced.”
The ministry cautioned against spreading unverified information, which could mislead the public.
