Dr. Bukola Saraki, the President of Nigerian Senate has lost his widely reported appointment as Ambassador-at-large of the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC).

In a letter issued in Abuja earlier today (Thursday), a copy of which was sighted by this medium, the head of the Nigerian Office of IHRC, Dr. Friday Sani, explained that the decision to cancel the appointment became inevitable due to the lukewarm attitude of Dr. Saraki, despite the constant engagement with officials of the International agency.

A part of the letter reads, “In view of recent event towards perfection of the intended decoration and the overall interest of the organization in Africa and the world, we hereby withdraw your nomination as Ambassador-at-large.”

The IHRC said it regrets the withdrawal of nomination, but emphasized that the action was taken in line with the Agency’s standard protocols.
