Veteran journalist and former presidential candidate, Dele Momodu, has publicly criticised the potential appointment of Femi Fani-Kayode as Nigeria’s ambassador to Germany, raising concerns about suitability for diplomatic office.
Okay News reports that Momodu, in a strongly worded opinion, questioned the former minister’s temperament and public conduct, suggesting that such qualities may not align with the expectations of a diplomatic role representing Nigeria abroad.
He also referenced Fani-Kayode’s background and long-standing presence in Nigeria’s political space, noting that while the appointment may reflect political considerations, it has sparked debate over merit, character, and the image of Nigeria on the international stage.
The commentary comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding appointments under the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with observers highlighting the importance of professionalism, restraint, and credibility in diplomatic postings.
