“I suggest we return the list of non-career ambassadors to the executive so that they can re-present it,” Sunmonu said.
“There about 200 petitions against the nominees, and we don’t even know where to start,” she added.
Buhari sent the first list of names to the Senate for confirmation and approval on Thursday, October 20.
