Gambari gets special send forth from kinsmen

Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, new Chief of Staff to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Retd.), has received a special send forth from his kinsmen for a successful tenure.

Recall that Gambari was named as the successor of the late CoS, Mallam Abba Kyari who died as a result of complications from COVID-19 on April 17.

The special prayer was organised by hi ancestral community of, Erubu/Asunnara/Ita Aburo in Ilorin, Kwara, on Monday.

An Islamic scholar, Alhaji Uthman Erubu, who led the prayer, thanked Allah for the appointment of Gambari, whom he described as an illustrious son, to the Buhari-led administration.

Dr Ridwan Olagunju of the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, during his sermon, urged Ilorin youths to emulate the good deeds of past leaders to guarantee a better future.

"The past deeds of Gambari, as a reputable international bureaucrat, were responsible for his appointment, in spite of the fact that he is not a politician," he said.

He advised the CoS to bring his past experiences to fore in finding solutions to the myriad of challenges currently bedevilling the country.
