An ambassadorial nominee, Alhaji Ibrahim Bida, from Niger
state currently serving in Turkey shockingly failed to recite the Nigeria National
pledge when asked to do so by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
Ibrahim, who is among the 47 ambassadorial nominees
currently being screened, began stammering having introduced himself
successfully and on getting to singing the pledge, it became difficult for him
as he began to mix up the wordings.
The entire 8-man Committee including its Chairman, Senator
Munsirat Sunmonu burst into laughter, until James Manager intervened in
completing the pledge.
Pressed further on his knowledge of foreign economic
blueprint, the nominee explained succinctly how China got their economic
prosperity right because their President as at the time of their recession
decided to shut its doors against import from other nations and was busy
rebuilding China through domestic policy approach.
The nominee also stressed that if Nigeria could configure
its foreign policies with the interest of benefiting from resources abroad, it
would help the situation immensely.
