“Former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, and now member All Progressives Congress (APC) Board of Trustees, Dame Pauline Tallen, turned down her nomination for ambassadorial appointment by the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration. 

Speaking to The Beacon on phone, Tallen said she appreciated the President for counting her worthy to serve Nigeria in the capacity of an ambassador, however, she has to let go to attend to her ailing husband. According to her, she will not be able to leave her husband who has been down for sometime now, in the hands of others to look after him, for the sake of the appointment. “It is a hard decision I had to take but I have to, because he is my primary responsibility,” she said. 

Reports have it that since her marriage to Mr. Tallen, he has been very supportive to her in all her political odyssey which started in the Second Republic down to the Forth Republic.” 

Also recall that about two months ago during the screening one of the ambassadorial nominees, Vivian Okeke faltered when she was asked to sing the national anthem before the people. 

Mrs Okeke during the recital could not recite the last stanza of the National Anthem but was aided by Senator James Manager, a member of the committee.
