The change is come
As a teenager I heard of Gambari as part of that government. More than 50 years after he is appointed as part of the government in power. Is the country stagnant or moving forward?
I don’t want to know anything... all of them na scam.
What a beautiful profile. Kinda baffles me why people with vast knowledge in local and international relations never covet the highest position in the country!
If I don't know anything about him, I know his name and I know he's too old too.
Is he going to transform the Nigerians society and push to the agenda majority has been clamouring, which is the restructuring. Anything else i thing it will be the same story forcing the agenda for the poor become poorer and the rich richer.
