The Member representing Obokun/ Oriade Federal Constituency of Osun State, Hon Busayo Wole Oke, on Thursday said that appointment of Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, as the Chief of Staff (CoS) is the best decision President Muhammadu Buhari has made going by his global wealth of experience in global diplomatic relations and administration.
Oke stated this in a statement made available to news men in Abuja on Thursday where declared that Nigerians would benefit from this singular action of President Buhari.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker however counselled Nigerians not to mind the negative opinions of some people against the new Chief of Staff for the nation to move forward
Precisely, the PDP lawmaker said that Amb. Fafowora opinion against the newly appointed CoS was subjective and personal to him which be ignored by well-meaning Nigerians
He explained that”our knowledge of Prof Gambari is at variance to Amb Fafowora submission. Gambari is a scholar of repute, a swift diplomat, very responsible, he has character of a statesman.”
The Osun Rep who stated that time had come for Nigeria to take an extremely deep look at herself, in order to craft both creative and innovative pathways of moving the country stressed the need to grab the opportunities inherent in the present challenges to greatly improve the future for Nigeria
“As an experienced public officer of Professor Gambari’s stature, both at home and abroad, and his vision for Nigeria and Africa, which he had exhibited across the globe, I feel that Nigeria is indeed in very good hands with him as the Chief of Staff
“Nigerians across the Federation and in the Diaspora, must work concertedly with one another, to promote common grounds, on which the survival of our great nation depends
“The surest way of attaining this is through ensuring that Nigerians, especially her elites commence talking with each other and not at each other, with the hope of rapidly promoting National Unity”.
