The new Chief of Staff to Nigeria’s President, Professor Agboola Ibrahim Gambari, has assumed office today.
Professor Gambari, who replaced the late Abba Kyari, promised to offer his loyalty, competence, and support to President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated this while speaking to State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa today.
The new CoS said his guiding principle to succeed in his new role would be to serve the President to the best of his ability.
He, however, noted that his primary allegiance is to the President and not the public, adding that he would not be carried away by comments made about him in the press.
Gambari said, “I thank the President of the Federal Republic for giving me the opportunity to serve him and of course, the country.
“But we have not started, I’ll have to find out details about my job. I don’t report directly to the nation. I report to the President.
“My loyalty, competence and support is to the President and my guiding principle as Chief of Staff would be to serve the President to the best of my ability”.
It was reported yesterday that Professor Gambari had been appointed the President’s new Chief of Staff.
