Afenifere reveals region Buhari will pick next Chief of Staff from

The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has said that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will pick his next Chief of Staff from the Northern region.

The former Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, was laid to rest on Saturday after he died just weeks after contracting coronavirus.

With the office of the Chief of Staff now vacant, Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, stated that it will be filled by another Northerner.

Odumakin said: “If it’s a presidency with national perspective, then the next CoS should come from another part of the country but given the president that we know, it will be a miracle to pick somebody outside the North.

“Well, you can’t have a Chief of Staff whose character is different from that of the regime.

“They will obviously pick somebody who will continue what they have been doing in terms of no national perspective, and lopsidedness.

“These are the characters we know and whoever Buhari will pick may continue with such.”
