Ibrahim Gambari is set to become President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of staff barring any last minute glitch. He replaces Abba Kyari, the man who redefined the significance of the position in contemporary Nigeria. As usual, the political blogosphere is on over-drive as the new appointment is subjected to the intricate analytical baptism that is the signature of Nigeria. Gambari though eludes any totalizing discourse. He has a PhD from Colombia University. Check.
Of course, people younger than 70 years have the right to complain about ageism in the Buhari administration. By the time the current crop of leaders in their 70s and 80s is done, most people in their 40s, 50s and 60s will likely feel unprepared for governance as several individuals are pulled out of retirementand appointed to positions that require significant energy and mental alertness. I do think Gambari is too old for the demands of the position.
Omoyele Sowore’s 2005 article “Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and June 12: The ‘un-disgraced’ collaborator” has been trending on social media. Sowore makes the point that Gambari has escaped public opprobrium for his activities during the regime of General Abacha. Gambari is definitive prove that Karma is overrated in Nigeria. The first law in Nigeria ought to be “don’t be the victim”.
However, to err is human. Gambari may not be able to change the past but he can set the tone for the future by apologizing to the people of the Niger Delta for his support of the extra-judicial execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and other members of the Ogoni 9.He must commit himself to correcting the excesses of his predecessor.

To simply issues, the new chief of staff should employ another subchief of staff who will bring energy to complement his frail age while he supplies the needed gray matter. Countrymen, our country is a mass of mess.
A very good decision by PMB
