The newly-appointed Chief of Staff (CoS) to President Muhammdu Buhari, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, has pledged to serve the president to the best of his ability.
He affirmed in a chat with State House correspondents on Wednesday shortly after his unveiling that the president would require his loyalty, competence and support.
He said he would report directly to the president rather than the nation.
“I want to thank the president for giving me this opportunity to serve him and of the country,” he said.
Speaking on what Nigerians should expect from him, Gambari said: “I have not started, so I will find out and maybe I don’t report directly to the nation, I report directly to the president. I think he needs my loyalty, competence and support.”
He said his guiding principle as the chief of staff would be to serve the president to the best of his ability.
