Ambassadorial Appointment: The Appointment Of Aminu Iyawa Is Skewed Against Dr Zira–Group

Tom Garba

A non-Governmental organization known as Adamawa Progressives Frontier movement (APFM) has yesterday through its Public relations Officer in Yola faulted the appointment of Aminu Iyawa as Ambassadorial Nominee from Adamawa state, calling it a “skewed appointment” against Dr Clifford Zira who was first nominated.

The Organization berates the appointment to be nothing rather than a deliberate effort and a mischievous move to shortchange people like Dr. Clifford Zira who is who is all round fit to hold whatever position in the country.

“The skewed appointments by the present administration (where out of 16 key appointments to Adamawa state all came from Central senatorial zone save for only one key appointment each in the northern and southern senatorial zones and all the three ambassadorial designates are also all from the central senatorial zones)” said NGO

According to the organization, Dr Zira is competent and a first class material and had genuinely worked for the victory of All Progressives Congress (APC)in the 2015 General Election should not be replaced with Iyawa just like that.

“Adamawa State is blessed with brilliant minds and men with noble character, among which is Dr Clifford Zira. A first class graduate of Agric Economics, a committed APC member. A man that had a successful career in Banking. He is a Nationalist, detribalized and a true Democrat.

“His omission from the Ambassadorial Nominee list should be reconsidered. Our three Distinguished Senators from Adamawa State, SGF and all the APC Stakeholders from Adamawa State should kindly intervene and do the needful.

“Adamawa State must present its best and not politicians like Iyawa.  The Senate should please save the face of Nigerians. Aminu doesn’t have the Integrity and wherewithal to represent Nigerians as their Ambassador in a foreign land.

The organization further explained that Knowing president Mohammedu Buhari as a man of integrity, equity and fair play, will do everything to save state from presenting somebody like Iyawa..
