The newly appointed Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Wednesday pledged his loyalty to the President, promising to serve him to the best of his ability.
Fielding questions from journalists after the first virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in the State House where he was formally presented to the public, Gambari thanked the president for giving him the opportunity to serve him and the nation.
He added that his commitment as the chief of staff would be “to serve the president to the best of my ability.”
“I want to thank the president of the federal republic for giving me this opportunity to serve him and of the country,” he said.
Asked what Nigerians should expect from him in his new office, the 75 year old Diplomat said: “I have not started, so I will find out and maybe… I don’t report directly to the nation, I report directly to the president.”
Gambari took over from Abba Kyari, who died last month of complications from the coronavirus.
