The Nigeria Senate has rejected the nomination of Rtd. Justice Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor as an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The 82 year old who is a retired Justice of the Court of Appeal was rejected by the Senate on account of old age.
During his screening by the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Justice Nsofor refused to recite the National Anthem when the Senators asked him to do so. When he was asked if his age will not affect his performance, he retorted, asking the Senators if age has stopped Mugabe from functioning as President of Zimbabwe.
