Xenophobia: Senate Majority leader begs Jonathan to reconsider the suspension of Perm Secretary

Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Abdul Ningi, yesterday begged President Goodluck Jonathan to reconsider his  suspension of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Danjuma Sheni who recalled Nigeria’s envoy in South Africa  without a clearance from President Jonathan.

He said: “Knowing the anger and the mood of this country and believing that the Senate, and indeed, the National Assembly did the right thing in suggesting and urging the executive to recall the Ambassador, I, therefore, want this Senate not to look the other way but to urge Mr. President to temper justice with mercy.

“It is, indeed, within the president’s responsibility, powers and jurisdiction and I think it’s important at times like this that the Senate President, David Mark, should urge the president to temper justice with mercy so  that the permanent secretary is not dismissed. He did the wrong thing at the wrong time and he should not have done it because of the mood. So, the president, a humble man, should be lenient.”

Amb. Danjuma Sheni thought he was doing the right thing but didn't consult the President first, hence his suspension.

  9. So when is the South African government going to apologize, and I mean really apologize (not their back hand 'sorry") to Nigerians for how they've treated Nigerians in the past or how they continue to treat us? I know Nigerian government like to sell us for power and politics. I hope they do the right thing...

  21. Forgive what? He deserves worse-rubbish! No recourse to your President. So because he lost, you stop respecting or acknowledging his office? You've become the scapegoat. He's still President all you Hypocrites.

  22. So Buhari and APC asked him to withdraw the Ambassador and he did it.

    Jonathan will be stupid not to dismiss the idiot.

    Buhari should wait till after May 29 before he starts causing diplomatic row.

  23. The same man was responsible for a bogus claims of a call by the President to the King of Morocco . He should jave been sackd already. Given d way the APC quickly grabbed it for propaganda , it is possible ; he was acting out their script .
