ABUJA, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Senate said it received from President Muhammadu Buhari another list of 46 non-career Ambassadors.

Senate President Bukola Saraki made the confirmation Thursday while reading the President’s letter on the floor of the senate.

Olorunmimbe Mamora, a former Senator and ex-speaker of Lagos state house of Assembly was dropped from the new list.

The nomination hit brick walls last year due to petitions against some of the nominees.

Some governors of the APC also complained that some nominees from their states were picked without their consultation.

It would be recalled that the Senate approved 47 career Ambassador nominees while it rejected 46 nominees under non-career list last year, hence the need for the new nomination.

The full list of the new nominees is as follows:

Uzoma Eminike, Abia;

Aminu Lawal (Adamawa);

Godwin Umoh (Akwa Ibom);

Christopher Okeke (Anambra);

Yusuf Maitama (Bauchi);
