Shocker: Ambassadorial nominees can’t recite national anthem, pledge
The Senate on Tuesday began the screening of the 47 ambassadorial nominees sent to it for legislative approval.
However, Some of the nominees could not recite the national anthem and pledge properly.
The nominee from Anambra State, Vivian Nwunaku Okeke mixed up the last stanza of the national anthem. Instead of saying “to serve with heart and might, one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity,” she removed ‘heart and might’ and ended with freedom, peace and unity.
The Niger State nominee, Ibrahim Isa muddled up the Pledge.
Thanks to a member of the committee, Senator James Manager who corrected them to save the day.
