Ambassador Sylvanus Nsofor, drew attention during his Senate screening when asked to recite the National Anthem by a member of the Senate committee. He staunchly argued with the lawmakers and refused to recite the anthem as requested. The lawmakers exhausted by the back and forth argument, left in complete surprise at his refusal, were left with no option, but to ask him to take a bow and leave.
