The Nigerian government has been canvassing delegates’ support for Mr Elias, and several events have been organised to promote his candidacy.
Mr Tuggar disclosed this on Thursday during the presentation of Elias to the Diplomatic Community in Nigeria for the World Court election in November in The Hague, Netherlands.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says the late former attorney general of the federation, Bola Ajibola, was his role model, who served Nigeria selflessly.
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday mourned the demise of Bola Ajibola, former International Court of Justice (ICJ) judge of The Hague.
