An ambassadorial nominee, Alhaji Ibrahim Bida, from
Niger state currently serving in Turkey shockingly
failed to recite the Nigeria National anthem when asked
to do so by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
Ibrahim, is among the 47 ambassadorial nominees
currently being screened in the national Assembly.
Check here for Buhari’s full list of nominees.
He began stammering having introduced himself
successfully and on getting to singing the pledge, it
became difficult for him as he began to mix up the
wordings.
The entire 8-man Committee including its Chairman,
Senator Munsirat Sunmonu burst into laughter, until
James Manager intervened in completing the anthem.
Pressed further on his knowledge of foreign economic
blueprint, the nominee explained succinctly how China
got their economic prosperity right because their
President as at the time of their recession decided to
shut its doors against import from other nations and
was busy rebuilding China through domestic policy
approach.
The nominee also stressed that if Nigeria could
configure its foreign policies with the interest of
benefiting from resources abroad, it would help the
situation immensely.
