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 Fourth Republic.
