Governor of Kwara
State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Wednesday described the appointment of
Professor Ibrahim Gambari as the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari
as a befitting development.
Buhari confirmed
Gambari as his new Chief of Staff during the Federal Executive Council, FEC,
meeting on Wednesday.
The Governor in a
statement signed by Rafiu Ajakaye, his Chief Press Secretary, congratulated
Gambari, adding that his appointment was deserving.
The statement read
in part: “The appointment is clearly fit for purpose and is deserving for our
own Professor Gambari whose record of service as a diplomat and global
statesman is unblemished.
“On behalf of my
family, the government and people of Kwara State, I congratulate the Wambai
Ilorin for this historic appointment.”
AbdulRazaq disclosed
that Gambari has been one of Buhari’s men for decades, adding that his
appointment did not come as a surprise.
The Governor thanked
Buhari for honouring Kwara State even as he prayed for Allah’s protection on
the new Chief of Staff.
“Professor Gambari
has always been one of the ‘President’s men’ for decades and it is not
surprising that he has been appointed at this crucial moment to serve as his
chief of staff.
“We commend the
President for honouring not just one of his renowned loyalists of all time, but
also the people of Kwara State who still relive his relationship with one of
Nigeria’s finest military officers and son of Kwara, late Major-General Tunde
AbdulBaki Idiagbon.
“We pray to Allah to
protect Gambari on this delicate national assignment for President Muhammadu
Buhari whose administration has positively impacted lives of the masses,” the
statement added.
