'I'm Not answerable to Nigeria but Buhari' - Gambari's acceptance speech

By News Proof 

In a reaction that could be regarded as an acceptance speech, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, the newly appointed Chief of Staff to the President who assumed office today, May 13, has pointed that he will only be reporting to the President and not to the nation.

Gambari gave this clarification when he spoke to state house correspondents after attending the Federal Executive Council meeting in the statehouse Abuja.

The 75-year-old diplomat thanked President Buhari for his appointment.

“I thank the President of the Federal Republic for giving me the opportunity to serve him and of course, the country”, he said.

When asked what Nigerians should expect from him as Chief of Staff, he said

“We have not started, I’ll have to find out. I don’t report directly to the nation, I report to the President”.

He pledged to serve the President to the best of his ability.
