The convener of RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore has reacted to the appointment of Professor Ibrahim Gambari as the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari appointed Gambari, a former Minister of External Affairs, as his new Chief of staff, following the death of Mallam Abba Kyari, who lost his life to the dreaded coronavirus virus.

Reacting to the development in a statement on Tuesday, Sowore condemned the appointment over Gambari’s role during General Sani Abacha’s military regime.

The former presidential candidate added that Gambari also served almost all the dictators that have ruled the country.

He said:

“Professor Ibrahim Gambari, who some people claim is an intelligent man, used his ‘intelligence’ to defend the draconian policies of the Abacha regime while he was Nigeria’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations.

“He was one of Abacha’s equivalents of the “goebel” representing the infamous dictator with vigor and a propensity that could only be found in fascist Italy of old.

“As more pressure mounted on the Abacha regime from all corners of the world, Professor Gambari became more notorious and ruthless in defending and deflecting attacks against the Abacha dictatorship.,”

Another concerned nigerian, an Economist and international observer, Oyewole Oginni, shared via his facebook page on how he new the appointed chief of staff right from his secondary school period as a one- time minister of foreign affairs.
