Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, has claimed that President
Muhammadu Buhari’s new Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, was in the circle of
late Head of State, Sani Abacha.
Soyinka made these claims in an interview with Plus TV
Africa.
Gambari was announced as replacement for the late Abba
Kyari, who died due to complications of COVID-19, last month.
However, according to Soyinka, he is “part of the structure”
and will not “make any difference here”.
“Gambari was an Abacha man which means that he has the
Abacha status quo mentality. Let’s put it that way. Gambari is not going to
make any difference here, he is just going to make sure that he’s looking after
his portfolio over there. So why are we looking in that direction for salvation
in this country?
“I didn’t want to
join in that debate because I want him to enjoy his stay. But I know Gambari
very, very well,” Soyinka said.
After his appointment, Gambari pledged his allegiance to
Buhari, making a vow of loyalty to serve the President to the best of his
ability.
