84-Year-Old Ambassador To US Asked To Retire By Nigerians, For Being Old For The Job

84-year-old
Nigerian Ambassador to the U.S, Sylvanus Nsofor asked to resign by
Nigerians, after seeing him fidgeting during a walk with the CBN
governor, Godwin Emefiele at an event in Washington DC.

Recall that the United States once rejected the former Justice, for not being a “dynamic and energetic person”.

His
nomination two years ago, as an Ambassador to the U.S also sparked
controversy when President Buhari sent his name to the Nigerian Senate.

The
man who’s claimed to be poor but a man of integrity, earned notoriety
during his membership of the Appeal Court panel that decided the
election tussle between Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the
All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and Olusegun Obasanjo, candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was declared winner of the 2003
presidential election.

Of the three justices on the panel, he alone did not endorse the final judgement upholding Obasanjo’s victory.
