Former Deputy Governor
of Plateau State, Dame Pauline Tallen, has turned down her nomination as
an ambassador by President Muhammadu Buhari
According to her Facebook social media wall at the weekend, Tallen said:
“I am fully committed to nation building and completely loyal to the
Federal Republic of Nigeria as well as its leaders. I count myself
privileged to serve our dear country as an ambassador of change.
However, family comes first and as such my decision is borne out of the
love for my ailing husband who needs the support of his family. God
bless Nigeria.”
She also appreciated the president for counting her worthy to serve
Nigeria in the capacity of an ambassador. “It is a hard decision I had
to take, but I have to, because he is my primary responsibility,” she said.
