Reports shows that President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a former Special Envoy to the UN Secretary General, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari as the new Chief of Staff.
Gambari, from Kwara State was the Minister of External Affairs between 1984 and 1985 and uncle to the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari.
He is the Pioneer Chancellor of the Kwara State University. A professor of repute and a global citizen, the 79 year old replaces former Chief of Staff, late Abba Kyari.
Prof. Gambari served meritoriously in the United Nations as Under Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Africa between 1999 and 2005.
He is a global citizen whose scholarly works are also recognised both home and abroad.
However, as at the time of filing this report, confirmed through a source in the Villa that the former envoy was yet to visit the Presidential Villa to see the President. “We are still waiting for official statement”, the source said.
