Lebanese ambassador walks out on House of Reps members - Edoman - 07-10-2020 Lebanese ambassador walks out on House of Reps members Houssam Diab, Lebanese ambassador to Nigeria on Thursday July 9 walked out on the house of representatives committee members on diaspora affairs shortly before a meeting convened to discuss issues centered on the maltreatment of Nigerians in Lebanon, especially one Temitope Arowolo. The Ambassador had expected a closed door meeting but walked out as the meeting was about to start after seeing some journalists and some other government officials including the minister of state for foreign affairs, Zubairu Dada. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, chairman of the committee said she was shocked that the “ambassador will just get up and walk out on us.” However after some members of the committee went after the ambassador, the meeting was held in closed door. Speaking after the meeting was held, Akande-Sadipe said it was cordial and the walk-out was a misunderstanding. She said; Quote:“It was an informal meeting because the ambassador was nice enough to join us at the meeting. There is no law that says he has to be here today, but because he has an interest in the joint relationship between Nigeria and Lebanon. The House Committee Chairman also disclosed that they are now looking at the case of a Lebanese who is being held in Ilorin, Kwara state capital on charges of human trafficking. |
