Ibrahim Gambari, the new chief of staff, says he will serve
President Muhammadu Buhari to the best of his ability.
Speaking with state house correspondents on Wednesday,
Gambari thanked Buhari for giving him the opportunity to serve.
Asked what Nigerians should expect from him, he said: “I
think you have to ask the president.”
The journalist responded with laughter after which the new
chief of staff continued: “I have not started, so I will find out… I don’t
report directly to the nation; I report directly to the president.”
Gambari succeeds Abba Kyari who died from complications of
COVID-19 in April.
The new chief of staff, who is from Kwara state, was the
minister of external affairs from 1984 to 1985 under Buhari’s military regime.
He also served as the under secretary-general of the UN and
special adviser to the secretary-general on Africa between 1999 and 2005.
Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the
federation, announced the appointment of Gambari at the federal executive
council (FEC) virtual meeting on Wednesday.
