An ambassadorial nominee from Katsina state, has given a reason why he turned down President Muhammadu Buhari’s offer.
He has declined to speak to the media on his decision.
But on his Facebook page on Wednesday, the northern politician thanked Buhari for the appointment, but he said he could not accept it because his hands were full.
“Regarding the published nomination for an ambassadorial posting, I have not spoken to the press and may not do so anytime soon,” he wrote.
“I thank those who think me fit for the job, but I have so much in my hands already, especially the Arewa Research and Development Project (ARDP), which is the only broad platform in the north driving development.
“I have weighed the options and have decided to remain home and continue the struggle for development and good governance.”
