Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, says that President Muhammadu Buhari’s new Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, hobnobbed with late military dictator Sani Abacha, when he held sway as Nigeria head of state.
Soyinka, who made the revelation in an interview with Plus TV Africa, said Gambari is “part of the structure” and will not “make any difference here”
He said “I know Gambari, he’s part of the structure.
“Gambari was an Abacha man which means that he has the Abacha status quo mentality. Let’s put it that way. Gambari is not going to make any difference here, he is just going to make sure that he’s looking after his portfolio over there. So why are we looking in that direction for salvation in this country?
“I didn’t want to join in that debate because I want him to enjoy his stay. But I know Gambari very, very well,”
Gambari was announced as replacement for the late Abba Kyari, who died due to complications of COVID-19, last month.
After his appointment, Gambari pledged his allegiance to Buhari, making a vow of loyalty to serve the President to the best of his ability.
