When Buhari leaves office, Nigeria will be more peaceful: Ibrahim Gambari
The Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, says Nigeria will be “more peaceful and prosperous” when President Muhammamdu Buhari leaves office.
He stated this on Sunday as he urged Nigerians to give maximum support to Mr Buhari, saying, “his success is our success.”
Mr Gambari, visiting his ancestral home, Ilorin, for the first time after he was appointed chief of staff, made the call while speaking with journalists in Ilorin.
“This period is an opportunity to reflect on the state of our country and to give maximum support to our president, Muhammadu Buhari because his success is our success.
“By the grace of God, all the programmes and projects he has embarked upon, in economic, political, and social domains, will materialise for the betterment of our people,” Mr Gambari assured Nigerians.
Continuing, he stated, “So at the end of his tenure, Nigeria will be more united, more peaceful, and more prosperous.”
Mr Gambari was received at the Ilorin International Airport by Kwara government’s officials, led by the Deputy Governor, Kayode Alabi.
Other officials at the airport to receive him were senators representing Kwara Central and North, Ibrahim Oloriegbe and Sadiq Umar, respectively, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, special adviser on political matters, Abdullateef Alakawa, other top governor’s appointees, and party chieftains as well as a large crowd.
Mr Gambari, who could not hold his felicity over the warm reception bestowed on him by the state government, applauded Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
“I am grateful to the almighty Allah for giving me life and health to be able to come back to the city of my birth from where all my trajectory occurred and for the state government for this heroic reception.
“I thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kwara state, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, his Deputy, distinguished senators and all the senior government officials who have been too gracious in welcoming me and of course, the Emir of Ilorin and all members of the community for the warm reception,” Mr Gambari said.
