The new Chief of Staff<\/a> to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, said Wednesday he would report directly to President Muhammadu Buhari and not Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gambari, who assumed duty earlier on Wednesday, stated this during a chat with State House correspondents after attending the virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what Nigerians should expect from him as Chief of Staff, he said: \u201cWe have not started. I will have to find out. I don\u2019t report directly to the nation, I report to the President.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 75-year-old former Nigeria Permanent Representative to the United Nations thanked President Buhari for his new appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gambari<\/a> also served as the country\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister during Buhari\u2019s stint as military Head of State from 1983 to 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thank the President of the Federal Republic for giving me the opportunity to serve him and of course, the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
