The Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman
AbdulRazaq has described the appointment of Professor Ibrahim Gambari as a
befitting development rooted in dedication, loyalty, and history.
He
said this while commending President Muhammadu Buhari on the appointment of his
new Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, who hails from his State. In a
statement signed by his spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor said, “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. “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 Mr President for yet again 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 the
Almighty Allah to guide and protect Professor Gambari on this delicate national
assignment and to not stop his blessings and protection for President Muhammadu
Buhari whose administration continues to impact positively in the lives of the
masses”, he added.
