The immediate past Governor of Oyo State, under All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Abiola Ajimobi has described the appointment of Prof. Agboola Ibrahim Gambari as Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari as a confirmation of meritocracy over mediocrity and professionalism over political interest.
Ajimobi also described Gambari as an accomplished diplomat, administrator, academic and a global figure with demonstrated interest and passion in the art of diplomacy and international relations.
According to the APC Chieftain,” the President, by the choice of Prof. Gambari has further shown his determination to always choose the best among us all in the task of repositioning and building a nation we can all be proud of. This has shown that the President prefers quality to inferiority. He did not apply sentiment in picking Prof. Gambari, rather, he picked the most suitable person, who is apolitical, for that position”.
