Senator Ita Enang has reportedly replaced former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany.
This is coming following a report by Peoples Gazette, that the German government rejected Fani-Kayode’s nomination.
It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu, on March 6, approved …ing of the former minister to a Central European country as an ambassador-designate.
However, The Gazette learnt that the German government rejected Mr Fani-Kayode’s posting to the country on March 13, 2026.
The German government said it rejected Mr Fani-Kayode’s nomination due to his “erratic behaviour, controversial past statements, particularly his divisive ethnocentric, tribalistic, and religious fundamentalist comments in Nigeria”, which the European country said was “destabilising”.
Mr Fani-Kayode’s rejection by Germany came days after the former minister insulted the United Kingdom’s high commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, during an argument at a Ramadan dinner hosted by Senator Bashir Lado, the president’s special adviser on Senate matters, at his Abuja home.
