The appointment of a career diplomat, Victor Adeleke, as State Chief of Protocol (SCOP) is an indication President Bola Tinubu will go for the best hands, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Adekunle Ayoola, said yesterday.
Ayoola, international trade and security expert based in Poland, said the key Presidency role given to the seasoned diplomat points to the likelihood key positions will be manned by technocrats who will drive the renewed hope agenda.
He noted Adeleke is an accomplished diplomat and lawyer with 30 years experience serving as ambassador to Ethiopia and permanent representative to African Union.

Ayoola hailed the patriotism and love for humanity of the Oyo State-born diplomat, adding Nigerians in the diaspora, especially in Poland, where Adeleke worked, would attest to his competence.
“Adeleke is an asset. He is a man of proven integrity, always willing to lend a hand.
“He is versatile in issues of governance; he had served well in higher capacities.
“This cap truly fits him. I commend President Tinubu for always having his eye on the best.
“I urge him to continue with this tradition and ensure only those who have value to make his cabinet,” he said.
