Governors under the aegis of Northern Governors' Forum (NGF) have lauded the appointment of Ambassador Ibrahim Agboola Gambari as the chief of staff by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Simon Bako Lalong, chairman of the forum who also doubles as the governor of Plateau state, described the appointment of Gambari as timely and well deserved.
Legit.ng recalls that after a big fuss and heightened conversation on who succeded late Abba Kyari, President Buhari caught everyone on the hook by settling for the 75-year-old diplomat and Ilorin prince.
Gambari resumed his new duty as President Buhari's CoS after he was presented before the Federal Executive Council (FEC) during its meeting on Wednesday, May 13.
In a congratulatory message, Lalong pledged the support of the forum to the new chief of staff and assured that Gamabari will bring his wealth of experience in erudition and diplomacy to Buhari's government.
